'Overshoot’ is the first in a series of books we are publishing on Korda’s work—a 30 x 30 cm hardcover art book featuring all 40 images from their ‘Overshoot’ artwork.

‘Overshoot’ first appeared as a track on Korda’s album ‘Apologize to The Future’ in 2020, before they made it into a visual slideshow, which was then disseminated via their Instagram. This visual work was then shown in their retrospective ‘The (Wo)Man Of The Future’ at Confort Moderne, Poitiers in 2022, and later in their exhibition ‘Artist’s Con(tra)ception’ at the Kölnischer Kunstverein in 2024.

“The more we accelerate into catastrophe, the harder it gets to predict the future. Imagine trying to convince governments not to build highways and suburbs in the 1950s. Many of our previous decisions that turned out to have monstrous consequences had perfectly plausible rationales at the time. The essence of overshoot is that it’s only obvious in retrospect. The reckoning is a shock because so few of us truly believed it would come. We were too accustomed to winning, too habituated to hubris. We may never love limits, but we’d better learn to live with them.”

— Chris Korda in conversation with Chico Cornejo, Trommel, August 2021
