The Burning Tower
4k video, 17:32, 2022
The Burning Tower (2022) is a desktop film that persuades viewers to believe in the harmful transmission of energy through 5G communication technology, ultimately framing the act of burning a cell tower as a form of resistance. Structured into four interconnected segments, the film explores the relationship between conspiracy theories, rumors, and network infrastructure, with each segment continuously attempting to rationalize the seemingly irrational act of destruction.
The storyline draws from real-world news and unfolds through the perspective of a virtual 3D male figure alongside the narration of a female anchor. References to early hypertext projects, 5G communication protocols, and submarine optical cable routes are woven into the narrative, forming a chain of associations that remains grounded in factual systems while producing a speculative and unstable conclusion.
