Veteran experimental artist Peter Rose’s Omen richly alternates highly treated images of the natural world and of the human, built environment – both streams shrouded in dread. Where nature often appears scarred by the passing shadows of civilisation, the built structures are dark, subterranean passages intermittently illuminated by a skittering torch.

A short film based on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fictional universe, combining the “Picnic to the curb” of the Strugatsky brothers, “Stalker” by Andrei Tarkovsky and the “Exclusion Zone” location around the Chernobyl NPP. According to the scenario, an agent of the peacekeeping forces, nicknamed "The Photographer", arrives in the Zone to prevent a global scale catastrophe, which could be caused by an experiment that went out of control at a scientific lab.
