My Edens After Burns

Released Dec 11, 2022

In the modern world, cinema has become the vehicle for high concept multidisciplinary art, much like Opera was to generations before ~ incorporating cinematography, visual arts, literature, music and performance into a singular experience.

Today, we take this art form a step further to bring to the digital art space what we call “Cinematic Fine Art”

Starring Val Kilmer, as conceived by Henrik Uldalen, and performed by Laurence Fuller, “My Edens After Burns” illustrates this cinematic notion through point cloud special effects by Ruben Fro, and the interpretation by artists Henrik Uldalen, Tania Rivilis, Goldcat, Jeremy Lipking, and Ksenia Buridanova, of a story written by Val Kilmer & Laurence Fuller.

The Story

One morning in 1783 and at the dusk of America’s Revolutionary war a young lady, named Lovie, peers out into the prairie waiting for her husband to return home from battle. A portrait by the virtuoso painter and one of America’s premier realist artists Jeremy Lipking, is dissolved in point cloud vibrations by the maverick special affects artist Ruben Fro. The story is narrated to us by classically trained actor Laurence Fuller, who recites the words written by himself and one of cinema’s most iconic figures ~ Val Kilmer.

But what comes galloping up from the horizon was not her beloved but his fellow soldier, delivering an envelope stained with a drop of blood. Predicting the worst Lovie jumps on her horse and gallops into the valley, dust kicking up around her, she can’t think of anything but to escape. The animated painting by Tania Rivilis beautifully captures the high emotional tones of the piece. The horse’s neigh the only thing which rivaled her cry of pain.

She rides all day, tears streaming down her face. Until exhausted she settles by a camp fire and takes out she envelope left to her. About to read she’s interrupted by a familiar voice, the ghost of her husband Samuel. Val Kilmer depicted as the ghost traveling back from a journey through the afterlife to visit Lovie for one last rendezvous. Val Kilmer is masterfully portrayed as the ghost of Samuel, by the celebrated Neo-Classical painter Henrik Uldalen. ~ “And though each second for me is like a thousand years, my love, your face for me is so clear.”

As night sets in and the ghost takes Lovie on a poetic journey through the afterlife ~ through poetry written by Val Kilmer and the magical realism of Ksenia Buridanova portrait with butterflies. Explosions of beauty and sorrow light up the night sky over the forest.

In the final chapter, Samuel tells Lovie of his experience from beyond, the things he has seen and journey his journey through night. And as the chapter comes to a close, from the darkness we hear the voice of our narrator and the last message of Lovie’s husband. The expressive digital painting by Goldcat (Christie’s 3.0) is a fitting climatic ending to this Romantic story.

The Dissolving Paintings series by Ruben Fro has deep roots in the web3 art world ~ becoming an iconic staple of the art in Tezos ecosystem. Interpreting classic masterpieces with point cloud special effects that Ruben was widely known for from his collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Pussy Riot and Michael Bay. Now with the epic romance of with the poetic storytelling of Laurence Fuller and Val Kilmer and five of the top contemporary painters in the world, we bring you My Edens After Burns.
