Abell 2877 – Asoka

Producer and DJ Asōka was inspired by the sudden appearance and disappearance of a 'space jellyfish' 300 million light years away, which could be experienced over Australia in the spring of 2021, to meet the cinematic footage. In the video "Abell 2877" she deals on different levels with the similarities that can be found in the emotional and social attributions towards both the depths of the oceans and outer space, and for this she makes use of elements of repetition and sound modulation. In this way, she attempts to direct the viewer's attention to the perspectival ambivalence, situativity, and transience as well as the inadequacy of undifferentiated, human meaning-making.

Four talented alien musicians are kidnapped by a record producer who disguises them as humans. Shep, a space pilot in love with bass player Stella, follows them to Earth.
