One in the early days of 2020, when CoronaVirus was just a local rumour. The group of young filmmakers were on-set at dawn and kept shooting against sunlight.

Excerpt from ago.ca:
Artist's Colony (Gardens) is a more modestly-scaled sculpture in the Thomson Collection of Ship Models gallery on the concourse level. In this work, Adams portrays a scene replete with fragments of both urban and rural landscape, ranging from the forest to vineyards to the beach and containing markets, beer gardens, school buses, cemeteries, flower gardens, pumpkins and numerous other objects.
It is populated with scores of people engaged in a dizzying variety of activities such as sunbathing, scuba diving, card playing, beer drinking, filmmaking, rescuing a drowning swimmer, watching a monster truck race and playing musical instruments. The whole work offers a spectrum of interrelated actions and scenes as parts of the chain of production and consumption --a kind of compressed space of multiple narratives.
Delighting in the unexpected, Adams's landscapes and scenes encompass both the absurd and the banal yet are imbued with humour and fine detail. Though a carnivalesque sensibility characterizes these works, he employs a careful, laborious approach to crafting his sculptures.
The extraordinary number of parts that make up the composition of these works are arresting in the way that his work succeeds in communicating complexity and abundance – or even overabundance. As Adams himself has commented, his works are meant to be inhabited conceptually and in the imagination, but also in a possible and impossible future.
