OUR PLACE IN THE SUN

For the last few years, we’ve been engaged in an ongoing cinematic reckoning with climate change, Florida’s colonial past and its potential utopian and dystopian futures. The result, our film, Our Place in the Sun, is a once-in-a-lifetime documentary of real-time gender transition, psychic transformation and climate collapse, shot on location in the ruins of Florida’s post-war mythology. A hybrid take on the “Tropical Entropic,” OPITS is a deeply-embodied experimental landscape film which takes a nonlinear turn into speculative fiction.

The first iteration of this work in progress made its public debut at North Miami MOCA in 2019. OPITS was awarded a grant by WAVE FARM’s Media Arts Assistance Fund in 2021.

HANDS OFF VENUS

In 2021, SOBBETH launched Hands Off Venus, an iterative artwork-cum-prefigurative social movement that aims to prefigure the future emergence of a vibrant protest movement against space colonization. Initiated as a queer cruising event in Miami, Hands Off Venus next reappeared in May 2021 as a film and installation commissioned by curators Brian Droitcour and Allyson Vieira for their group show, GTFO, in New York City. It has since escaped the lab and entered the population with ongoing outreach, a street art campaign and ‘Hands Off Venus’ interventions at the NYC Dyke March during Pride Weekend.
