Asymptote: Eery photo series that imagines a dystopian future full of repression

The featured models in the series pose in coherent geometrical compositions, a symbol of the regime itself. "People create a pattern," says Evelyn. They become part of the overall composition: architecture and society. Each person is stripped of their own individuality to become a unified form, creating an absurd platform where every difference is an anomaly."

The sound of Asymptote fuses digital and analogue processing, extracted from authentic archives from the radio. Evelyn continues: "The acoustic manipulation shifts the collected material into abstract forms, which experiment with the viewer's perception and invites the audience into this the partially absurd game. Spartakiada, a national tradition with its roots in 1955, included colossal gymnastic performances that used choreography to unify people into large patterns and structures.

"The video footage creates a dialogue between the characters and the formations they create, following a sudden deformation by pixels that submerge into digital noise. There is a state of tension and paranoia that is induced by the obsessive repetition of sound and image. All of these elements blend into an audiovisual language creating a characteristic for Asymptote."
