Copper Promises of Immediate Realities

Max Sabitzer (AT)

Born in Vienna in 2001, now based in Linz, Max Sabitzer is a visual artist with a background in environmental sciences at the University of Life Sciences in Vienna. His work explores the connection between people and nature, using photography, video, and design to communicate climate issues. After experiences in climate activism, ecology and protest photography he now works on mixed media art pieces connecting natural sciences with experimental arts.

Copper Promises Of Immediate Realities is a short film exploring the landscapes of long-distance relationships in the digital age. The story unfolds entirely through virtual environments, Google Earth imagery and generated mountain ranges.

Emotional distance between people relying on online communication is visualized through these empty landscapes. The film reflects on the paradox of digital connection and how the promise of instant communication can still leave us feeling deeply isolated.
