Here ‘Communion’ is seen as the act of coming together under one system of belief in an attempt to reverse the damage that's been created, while a new posthuman culture is being born. The piece attempts to answer the questions -  if Climate Change becomes religion, then what kind of form does its temple take and what is it made of?

The short film was selected from over 2000 entries by a highly esteemed jury and it incorporated the previous works of ‘Engines of Creation’ and ‘Engines of Repair’.
