Copperland

Copperland is a high-energy audiovisual film that resurrects the spirit of early-2000s VJ culture through an explosive, modern lens. Set across vast theaters and surreal equestrian arenas, the film follows an aging VJ who finds new life in a radical live-visual show where glitch aesthetics, retro video-toaster effects, and pounding audiovisual rhythms collide. Galloping horses, towering projections, and oceans of gold-copper coins flood the screen, transforming the space into a mythic landscape.

As Copperland unfolds, the imagery traces the cultural and material history of the penny—metal, labor, circulation, and value—rendered through aggressive analog textures, VHS artifacts, and oversized cinematic spectacle. The result is a hypnotic, immersive experience that blends live-performance energy, visual music, and symbolic history into a single, kinetic work about reinvention, endurance, and the enduring power of audiovisual art.
