Through a blend of analog film, digital video, found footage, and experimental editing, OK Pedersen explores collective memory and contemporary geopolitical tensions. In Orchard Station Road, she investigates the role of memory in shaping history, focusing on how social and environmental crises redefine individual and collective narratives. In this science fiction essay film, a solar storm destroys all telecommunication networks and electric grids. Radios transmit soundwaves from a distant future, where the effects of the apocalypse still persist. By combining fiction and reality, Pedersen deconstructs traditional storytelling, inviting us to lose ourselves in a space where past and future intertwine.
