Alien Tourist
Imagine: An alien has landed on a foreign planet, where life once existed. The alien moves around aimlessly through dark shifting nature, occasionally coming across a frozen figure, a human, poised in time and action, in a deserted wilderness where the sunlight is now out of reach. ALIEN TOURIST comes together as a conglomeration of fragments - of images, places, frozen moments and echoing sounds that present the viewer with a vision of our world, now gone.
