TITLE: Sun Farmer

This concept came alive when I saw this abandoned structure. It was originally built as a tax scam pretending to be a new solar energy technology. Big lenses were supposed to follow the sun and concentrate the light in order to gain maximum energy from it. After it was shut down the structure stayed in the middle of nowhere and I imagined a post-apocalyptic world, where cities were dying out from the lack of water and toxicity. A lone farmer was left behind keeping this "solar farm" alive all by himself. "Farming" the sunlight he maintains the structures and hopes that one day civilization will return and be reborn.
