Lydia Cambron's '2020: An Isolation Odyssey' Recreates Kubrick's Film in Quarantine
American designer Lydia Cambron recreated the final sequence of Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film '2001: A Space Odyssey' while confined to her Brooklyn apartment during quarantine. Her video, titled '2020: An Isolation Odyssey,' follows the original shot by shot, replacing the film's dreamlike atmospheres with domestic simplicity while maintaining a sense of suspension and mystery. Cambron notes that the time travel narrative adapts to the banal dramas of isolation, ironizing the self-centered life of staying home alone. The work was featured on Artribune in August 2020.
