Paradise Later

"The blink of an eye. Images emerge from dazzling white and disappear
again, as if the eyes must first adjust to the light. While the camera follows
a slow-moving river on the edge of a tropical metropolis an off-screen voice
reads a sales rep’s report to a company’s board of directors. As the narration
progresses it becomes increasingly laden with self-doubt and accusations.
‘The conquest of the earth … is not a pretty thing when you look into it too
much.’ (Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness, 1899)"
