Outsiders: Energy is Inside
Nargiza Usmanova's "Outsiders" is a lighting performance that took place in Oakville, Canada, featuring handmade costumes that transformed human bodies into illuminated aliens, conveying the message that energy is the foundation of human livelihood and a potential key to solving the energy problem on Earth.
