Finite Horizon

Finite Horizon

Astria Suparak / United States / Installation (print and video) / 2023 / European Premiere / 9 min

Finite Horizon is an amalgamated skyline of Asian futures imagined by white filmmakers. Sourced from 20th and 21st century sci-fi, these movies depict a vice-ridden, dangerous world.

Finite Horizon is an amalgamated skyline of Asian futures imagined by white filmmakers. Sourced from primarily 20th and 21st century sci-fi movies and television shows, these movies depict a vice-ridden, dangerous world with elements of East, Southeast, and South Asian architecture.

Embedded within is On the Neon Horizon, a short video essay that takes one of the world-building tics of white science fiction — gratuitous signage in Asian languages — to consider its utopian potential and dystopian applications. In aggregate, these productions inextricably tether non-white cultures to criminality and contagion, portraying Asian cultures and people as existential threats to white Western ideas of freedom.
