OASIS

animated film | 2018 | 15 min
About

OASIS is an animated film combining documentary footage, archival material, and simulated environments to explore systems of control, desire, and abstraction. Structured as a guided journey through a virtual landscape, the work positions the viewer as a player navigating economic, political, and infrastructural systems. The project takes as its point of departure the casino Oasis in Jericho — once conceived as an instrument of economic cooperation and political stabilization — and examines how speculative investment, territorial control, and conflict become spatially encoded. By merging game mechanics with documentary narration, OASIS reflects on how complex geopolitical realities are rendered navigable, aestheticized, and ultimately instrumentalized.
