The moment we think of the world as disenchanted . . . we set limits to the ways the past can be narrated.
—Dipesh Chakrabarty

An unremarkable random '70s newsreel from the artists’ hometown in Soviet Siberia forms the substrate for a relentless exploration of the representational and narratological techniques. Without ever collapsing into a “story” or abstraction, Horizōn recants the relationship between analog and digital, surface and reference, sense and experience, past and present.
