Alexander in Mimesis
by Alexander Augustus
Alexander in Mimesis tells the story of myself making an artwork, describing the story of myself making an artwork. In many ways the US is a dreamlike reflection of the UK, and during my time there I came to see Manchester, New Hampshire, as a kind of Manchester 2; in response I wanted to create a kind of Alexander 2 to inhabit the foreign land. The resulting piece is a semi-autobiographical, science-fiction adventure which follows Alexander on his artistic journey; through the old factories and graveyards, sports bars and antique shops, museums and supermarkets, dating apps and stem cell research facilities, with a harrowing glimpse into the mysterious beings who live beyond the sky.Artist, writing, direction - Alexander AugustusNarration - Mike BodieMusic - Cornelius LinkSound Design - Alexander AugustusSound Design / Engineering Consultant - Youkyung ChoAdditional instruments - Lukas Henning (rhythm & lead guitar), Trevor Ni
