Moon

"Moon" serves as a poignant homage to the science fiction classics of the 60s and 70s, notably drawing inspiration from iconic films such as "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." The Cummings Twins skillfully recreate a sense of awe and wonder they experienced in their youth while viewing these cinematic landmarks.

The film unfolds with a sweeping panoramic view of a desolate lunar landscape, unveiling the remnants of a once-great civilization that has long since crumbled into the annals of time. At the heart of the narrative are two ethereal, entities who embark on an exploration of the megaliths strewn across the terrain. These enigmatic temples and colossal machinery showcase inexplicable phenomena, revealing advanced technology.

The film delves into a realm of metaphysics and technology, illustrating a profound synthesis of these themes that ignites hope. Throughout the narrative, lunar archetypes, embodying the feminine, the mother, barrenness, and fertility, play a pivotal role. One particular symbolic scene features a monolith in the likeness of the Venus of Willendorf, nestled within a stone circle. This imagery suggests that the lunar inhabitants once revered humanity and our Earth, creating a rich tapestry of meaning and symbolism.

The original rendition of this artwork takes the form of a live video performance first shown in 2022, which has been meticulously captured and transformed into a film.
