Alien Interviews: We've Made Contact
"Space Age Dream Girl" (Introduction) ... In the year 1, Earth was inhabited by groups of Aliens, all residing in the remaining city centers throughout the planet. Altough most humans have not seen the Aliens, they are aware of their presence through the large mother ships that mysteriously float over the remains of the cities. Each half year there are announcements from the ships to call a select group of 300 humans. Intuition provides security for the humans, and it is known that the Aliens are here to give information and hospitality to the chosen few. It is known that the importante of the "chosen ones" is crucial to the future of humankind and the galaxy as a whole.
The setting is post-apocalyptic Earth, 2015, or as we now call it year 3. Geographically uncertain where the earth begins or ends the landscape is desert, leading up to a vast mountain range. At the base of the mountain range, there are rock walls lined with caves, which are inhabited by the last remaining humans. Between the mountains and sea there is what once was a city. Noted to be a technological and cultural hub of the planet, its remains are made up mostly of rubble and steel foundations.
"Seeing is Believing" (Part II)
... 3:33 PM, I hear the horn to signify the announcement-Its time for the call of 300. It's been 3 long years of the calling and I have almost lost all hope to hear my name. After about 1 hour of listening to names (none of which I know) I hear a long pause. "T E D D Y R O Y." And immediately I jump to my feet and look around. Everything is going to change...
"Alien Interviews" (Part III)
As I enter the vessel I feel an enormous amount of energy surrounding me. It feels as though I am hit square in the face with a wave, like walking into a force field. I notice several species of intelligent life facing each other in a circular formation. Each being is communicating in a muted manner while moving their heads and limbs in a slow motion kind of way.
Alien Interviews: WE'VE MADE CONTACT, In his first exhibition with GALLERY GUILLAUME DAEPPEN, Theodore will bring to life 13 selected Alien Interviews including still photography and video. Boyer's works reflects both interaction with extra terrestrial life forms and the mysteries of what the future of humanity holds. These images are the futuristic "relics" of what was found after a Post-Apocalyptic chaos on planet Earth. The last remaining humans were re introduced to the fundamental planetary laws by the Aliens.
