Survivors of the Nostalgia Loop is an interactive audiovisual installation that takes the form of a fallout shelter, scattered with miscellany and snippets of lore. The work consists primarily of a series of noise instruments and graphic works, depicting a fictional doom-scenario that ventilates topics of hauntology, retrofuturism & nostalgia.

Exhibition text:

The smell of burned flesh and melted plastic is penetrating your nose the moment you awake from what seemed to be a foolish nightmare. But the surroundings tell you something different: while exploring the area, you encounter zombie-like creatures haunting the streets. You find yourself inside an oneiric 90’s apocalypse world, identical to your dream.

Did it really happen? Has the overconsumption and recycling of 90’s pop culture led to a nostalgic feedback loop with fatal consequences?

It sounds like there is a sign of survivors. There are rumors about a shelter that contains some crucial information.
