Oh my God is full of Stars uses the seduction of the film medium to project the viewer into artificial techno-structures. It is a seduction of the synthetic, the clinical and the hyper-technological that creates suspended spatial atmospheres, where the eye of the beholder is a floating body. The spaces that emerge are empty and do not welcome any human presence. They create a liminal situation that seems to draw out of the ordinary. All this restores the element of mystery and hints at a disturbing vision of the future. The latent subtext of the work is what J. G. Ballard calls "inner space": a landscape of perpetual alienation created by the ever-growing technologies of the Western world. It is within this space that Sarah Ciracì elaborates a kaleidoscopic micro cosmos that makes us reflect on the man/machine relationship and on the simulation of reality.
