The work "Video World" is a speculation on a potential future, but it can also be seen as a virtual parallel of reality. One clue regarding this alternative space is the window in which the curtain of the day, blown by the wind, allows for a glimpse of the night behind it. In the background we can see the matrix-sky, which aims for the idea of simulation, and the starry earth continues the fragmentation of this already ambiguous space. This space is taken up by all sorts of creatures, from robotic insects and animals to digital deities and their followers, walking under neon lamps and stepping through fanciful portals. It can be assumed that the only character partially belonging to the known material world is the one from the bottom right-hand corner, connected to a VR suit and seeing his virtual reflection in this context.
