In classical mythology, the Islands of the Blessed were a paradise on earth where favoured mortals were received by the gods. This twelvefold symmetrical film scans a procession of landscapes that have been sculpted by increasingly mechanised cultures. It documents humankind’s transformation of our planet’s natural topography.
