Leaving all narrative context aside, Limits of PortLand, the second
installment of the PortLand series, broaches the issue of advancing
individualization in society. Characters are surrounded by distinct
fragments that are manifold and more dynamic than in the first part.
Thus,
the complexity of the world is taking shape outside of the bodies,
reflecting a major society-trend in late capitalism: people tend to
define themselves – in a post-critical way – by their possessions,
symbols and by brands. At the same time, they are less mindful when it
comes to valueing and fostering their inner essence.
Having in mind
future developments and remembering the advantages a natural environment
has over an artificial one that is only designed to help human
civilization subsist despite ecological destruction, Limits of PortLand
explores new, benevolent ways of coexistence between humankind and the
fragile nature of our planet.
