AMERICAN ARCADIA
2020
DESCRIPTION
American Arcadia is a fantastical historical account of American colonization. Departing from the violently tragic legacy of Western exploitation, American Arcadia creates a peaceful alternative where colonizers and Native peoples live in fabled peace and harmony.
Immersed in their exuberant nature, the inhabitants joyfully dance, flirt, and luxuriate in great harmony in a series of Utopian scenes of dreamlike New Worlds. Pre-Colombian American landscapes are transformed into an imaginary narrative of mythic primordial beauty where innocence and jubilation reign.
