"Solar Orders is a film that envisions a future global tropics premised on real-world observations that the tropics are expanding due to the climate crisis. Fermenting in our collective anxiety, might climate forecasts come to be seen as predictions, and eventually as prophecy?

Within the work, solar orders shape future societies where the sun forms the central organising principle, even a philosophy of the future milieus. From our myriad energy needs to the food we eat, what would it mean to submit oneself to the superabundance of the sun? Soundtracked by five electronic producers from across the tropics: Gatasanta (Columbia), Lynn Nandar Htoo (Myanmar), Disco Puppet (India), Trypas Corassão (Brazil), Authentically Plastic (Uganda). What of music’s role in connecting the terrestrial to the solar, at different moments of our path around the sun?

Bringing together storytelling, myths, and music, Solar Orders speculates upon these future societies and of landscapes of the temperate zones turning into deserts, turning subsequently into the tropics." [1]

"Pushing observations of tropical expansion (due to the climate crisis) to extreme ends, arriving upon the fictional scenarios of a future global tropic. The work speculates upon the ramifications of earth’s warming and consequent loss of climate demarcation. In a mono-climatic world of forever-summers, might a global tropic mean the blurring of geographies, histories and cultures?

Evoking different facets of this future as we follow a fictional character who finds messages that her past life had left for her in her present. These messages surface as fictional characters excavate different environs and museum collections to explore these future societies. Speculating upon the history and future relationship between heat and art. Does a museum’s cool and dry climate control system make it the repository for a lost temperate climate? When memories persist, might reincarnation be seen as a form of time travel?"[2]
