JOURNEY TO HYPERSPACE
This contemporary visionary art depicts the flight of the shaman’s soul across mythological realms as cinematic frames from non-existent fantastical movies. Wyldheart & Wright were inspired by the visual effects of films such as Fantastic Journey, Star Wars and Innerspace to use scale models and photographic techniques to express their personal experiences of 21st century shamanism. All work is presented in the aspect ratio of 2.35:1 Cinemascope, as favoured by Stanley Kubrick when shooting 2001: A Space Odyssey.
SPACESHIP XXIII
This customised model kit was designed to evoke the movies of the 1950s to the 1980s, the shape recalls the film Destination Moon, whilst the paint work that of the rebel ships from Star Wars. The number 23 is a nod to the work of psychonaut Robert Anton Wilson and the colours represent the four stages of Alchemy; Black, White, Red and Gold.
