evacuation

Description

Evacuation is the government-sponsored pageant titled “Orderly Retreat,” designed to observe citizens abandoning order en masse. Under the guise of safety, it crafts a beautiful chaos of gridlocked traffic and teeming crowds in the streets. Sheltered in the so-called “evacuation center,” one faces meager supplies and bureaucratic forgetfulness, learning one’s own insignificance and the limits of administration simultaneously. Always promised as predictably controlled, yet perpetually delivering the unexpected mayhem, it is humanity’s ironic survival dance.
