Tomorrow, the Burning Heavens delves into the dramatic epoch of the early 1560s, marking the onset of the ‘Little Ice Age’. During this period, eerie celestial phenomena illuminated the skies over Germany and Switzerland, sparking widespread apocalyptic fears. The film revisits these historical anxieties, once vividly depicted in hand-coloured woodblock prints, and juxtaposes them with contemporary observations of artificial winter landscapes in modern ski resorts. By blending past visions of cosmic catastrophe with the present-day technological manipulation of winter environments, Bloching's work explores the evolving relationship between image-making, technology, and faith amidst ongoing environmental crises.


Through a compelling visual narrative, Tomorrow, the Burning Heavens reflects on how historical fears and technological advancements shape our perceptions of nature and the impending challenges of climate change. This cinematic piece offers a poignant commentary on how dreams and nightmares of the past continue to influence our understanding of environmental issues today.
