“This seat is flanked by two screens, displaying Genevieve Peck’s multimedia that gives form to the pilot’s consciousness – from the azure blue and fluffy clouds of the sky she once ruled over, to an ultrasound of a baby with beating heart when she realises she’s pregnant, to the dull grey of the drone surveillance cameras, waiting for an opportune moment to strike as she tails her mark. But these screens also feel oppressive at times; there are scenes where we see multiple images of Shu An, as if she herself is being watched by a camera, while acknowledging the existence of the screens itself reminds us that all the blue of the sky is merely artifice, a distant memory for her, as they fade to black. All of these intricate details are much appreciated as they contribute to experiencing the pilot’s inner mind in visual form.”
