Georg Zinsler - The Sentinel Script, Self published, 2017, Vienna

 

Softcover, limited to 500 copies, signed. Text by Discipula.

Combining original pics taken by the author during guided tours of Chernobyl with stills from thematically related movies and videogames, G. Zinsler's The Sentinel Script is a mysterious sci-fi tale and a metaphor of the increasingly nebulous boundary between reality and entertainment.

Deliberately referencing classic works of fiction such as Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers and Tarkovsky's "Stalker", as well as inspired by J.G. Ballard's novel The Crystal World, The Sentinel Script plunges the reader into a multilayered narrative wormhole : while the images describe the activity if the visitors inside the elusive Zone, texts emerge like disruptive transmissions from another dimension, interfering with the visual sequence and its reading.

The Sentinel Script is both a dystopian journey and a sarcastic reflection on the desensitization of our society.
