A book like a high-wire act – balancing between truth and deception, documentation and fiction, trash and the grotesque. In their joint publication, American filmmaker Scott Clifford Evans and Austrian photographer Markus Krottendorfer intertwine their artistic approaches to create a multifaceted narrative world that merges cinema, photography, and literature.

The starting point is Krottendorfer's fascinating photo series on the EVN power plants – industrial giants that, in his analog photographs, transform into dystopian landscapes. These unsettling images inspired Evans to develop his horror film concept The Eyes of Ra, an eerie tale about a dying small town where an old power plant comes to life and harbors terrifying secrets. Tentacled creatures, ghostly machines, and portals to other dimensions – in Evans' laconic storytelling style, classic horror motifs merge with social critique and teenage coming-of-age.
