Carlos Vielma
An infinite picnic
Cecily E. Horton Gallery

Carlos Vielma’s An Infinite Picnic presents a video installation inspired by “The Million Year Picnic,” the final short story from Ray Bradbury’s post-apocalyptic science fiction The Martian Chronicles. In Bradbury’s timely dystopian short story, a family escapes Earth in an attempt to rebuild their life on Mars. Similarly, Vielma’s rural adaptation of this short story explores themes of migration, colonization, and human existence on planet Earth.
