UTOPIA: Pat Flynn


Pat Flynn explores how we understand ourselves through mass culture and commodities; creating narratives about our human need to believe, how we fetishise belief and how this affects our morality. Working in photography and film, Pat is originally from Leigh. He lives and works in Manchester as a visual artist. 

Inspired by the 1980’s arcade game Moon Portal, Pat will create a film guiding the viewer through a seemingly endless loop of abstract landscapes. Adopting the initial aesthetic points and rolling landscape of the game, the film will transport the viewer through five of the most popular utopian landscapes. Taking into account the human necessity to dream, the end goal is simple; to escape.
