Retro-futurism is a movement in creative art that focuses on the impact of future depictions created in the past era. Based on the feverish visions of the futurists, which were taken as an inherent part of evolutionary progress in various areas of humanity, retro-futurism is juxtaposed as a memory of future predictions, a sceptical reaction to unfulfilled dreams.
The retro-futurism movement encompasses two tendencies that interact with each other, namely the vision of the future through the lens of the past, and the view of the past from the perspective of the future. As the aforementioned tendencies do not refer to a specific or definite time in either the future or the past, the corresponding ideas have been renovated and adapted to the present time.
However, the search for alternative and perhaps more promising visions of the future leads to the realization that the anticipated or desired future has not materialized. Nostalgia for a time that has never come and for things that have never happened.
