Come To Me Tonight
"Venus in Space" Antonio Vivaldi - Nisi Dominus, RV608 ("Cum Dederit")
Spell
Come through the Great Gates,
From the Zaohtensky swamp,
The roads that have not been crossed,
From the unmown grass
Come from the cords of the night,
Easter sounds of gold
Come to me tonight.
Anna Ahmatova

Cyberpunk loves and madnesses!
Space and human with Cyber / Horror synthesis in the video Come To Me Tonight; It aimed to synthesize the truth and the prophetic vision by problematizing the mind, body and spirit form. The love and passion symbolized by Venus in Roman mythology has been given as the symbol of the uncertainty of Space and the Universe. Here, the Universe, placed in the position of love and passion, is the fantasy of Venus and humanity to discover the unknown. Here, the real protagonist of the love story is the universe itself, with its unknown, the fear it creates and the desire to be discovered. The video begins with the images in which humanity discovers the Universe, Space's call to man. But this call is also a love poem. The obscurity of cosmic fear cannot remain indifferent to this invitation by synthesizing the fear and excitement it brings with the sense of discovery. The interior of the washing machine, claustrophobic, sheltered interior symbolizes the uterine area of the human body with a cool purple light. The foam rising from the sea in the creation story of Venus refers here to the steam fired by the rocket. As we move away from everyone in the shuttle, Antonio Vivaldi's work Nisi Dominus makes us feel like an echo from a distance. It is incompatible with the mechanical, cold, isolated atmosphere of the spaceship. Peaceful Nisi Dominus, where no one can hear his voice, is a side effect of the reality of a perfect Black Hole. Human's Cybernetic fusion with Space generates pain and pleasure. The new perception of space is so strong that it slowly hypnotizes consciousness, it goes crazy and continues to draw us into the Black Hole. With Venus pulling into the Black Hole, we will be faced with the only brutal reality of Space.

Prophecies, Folk Stories, and Cosmic fears ... Our emotions tell us something about reality. Fear is one of them. Therefore, it becomes a means of perception and understanding. They all have an evolutionary, social and personal history. Man is a being living in the physical and symbolic universe. This makes our desires inhabitable in the realm of action, in the world of facts (positivism). We live together with fears and anxieties. These videos focus on nonexistent creatures and figures, myths, historical curiosities, the drive to survive and our purpose of being, with their own stories, creating the language of experimental narrative.
