Foretelling a cataclysmic global pandemic and economic and climate collapse, Shelley's dystopian vision of the 21st century is re-envisioned here by contemporary artists and writers. First published in 1826, Shelley's profoundly relevant reflections on the corruption and vanity of power, and our blindness to the terrible transience of human desire and ambition, are here amplified, annotated and translated into fragments of our troubled present by the artists' contemporary interventions.Artists include: Maddy Bremner, Nelis Franken, Catherine Gans, Danielle Garcia, Maxwell Harvey-Sampson, Sara Minsky, Marié Nobematsu-Le Gassic, Monica Regan, David Richards, Crystal Roberts, Genevieve Sachs, Yonatan Schechner, Kamaria Shepherd, Christopher Stiegler.
