Views of Planet City is a project by Los Angeles-based film director and architect Liam Young, exploring the productive potential of extreme densification, in a speculative future where ten billion people surrender the rest of the planet to a global wilderness.
Calling for a radical re-envisioning of a sustainable planetary future. Views of Planet City brings together five artists in an exploration of Liam Young’s Planet City: a vision of a future city for 10 billion people into which all of Earth’s human population has retreated, surrendering the remainder of the planet to a global-scaled wilderness and the return of stolen lands. Alongside Young, Jennifer Chen, John Cooper, Damjan Jovanovic, and Angelica Lorenzi construct a maze of perspectives on Planet City, examining it as a material phenomenon and a cultural event already in a process of becoming.
