_gen+esc (generation+escape) invites you to reimagine embodiments of humanity and self, depicting a world free of conventional posturing. In this series of short art films, artists wax poetic within intimate spaces unearthing identities, personalities, and histories that lie beneath our corporeal forms. While they discuss themes of belonging, process, identity and coping with global change, commonalities of escapism and contradiction arise among them all — highlighting our society’s obsession with self-image.
In a digital age sculpted by super-curated experiences of false reality, creator & director, Rabi uses these vignettes to pose fertile questions: are we a generation fated to chase freedom through escape? Can we accept the pervasive and persistent contradictions of the human experience?
_gen+esc is Rabi's genesis NFT collection, presented by Nomad Gallery.
This collection captures 11 unique moments from Rabi's directorial debut. Each piece is an edition of 33.
Each NFT includes an invitation to the _gen+esc closing party at Nomad Gallery in West Hollywood, CA on October 12, 2022. In addition, you will be able to claim and receive a physical green-screen mask and will be invited to participate in a casting call for future episodes of _gen+esc, using the same AR filter we're incorporating into the show at the gallery.
