This suite of sculptures and wall piece draw upon imagery from sci-fi films from the 1950s to the present, in which pyramids signal an alien or futuristic world. Hovering over these fabrications and projections are the real-life pyramids conceived, designed, and built by humans living across ancient Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

“In this towering installation, Suparak constructs a sprawling set shaped by centuries of imperial fantasy… Snakes coil around prey; a throng of brightly feathered birds erupts into flight above, while fanciful fruits swell into bloated cornucopias.”
A video spotlighting the range and utility of the long-running Crying Jordan meme, which re-immortalizes one of the 20th century’s most successful athletes into an avatar of failure; an Everyman for disappointment, angst, and sorrow; a tool for rapid responses to live events; and a demonstration of the increased power of (anonymous, decentralized) fan culture.
This live cinema work, presented as a taxonomy of tropes, is illustrated with images and clips from futuristic movies and television shows. Accompanied by a live musical soundtrack, Suparak delivers anecdotes, trivia, and documents from the histories of art, architecture, design, fashion, film, religion, and science.
