BREAKING NEWS
video (13 min) and installation, shown at Grad Show HEAD–Genève, 2022, foodculture days’ biennale, Vevey, 2023, 798 Cube, Beijing, 2024Breaking News is a video based on an investigation into greenwashed contemporary land grabbing for sugar and bioethanol production in Cambodia and Brazil. It investigates how the links between agro- and petrochemical industries are sustained by an internalised belief in a nature-society divide and an adherence to the fictive value of money. Situated at the intersection between social and environmental justice, the economic and juridic aspects of commodification and desire-making are seen and unseen from a decolonial perspective through the transmutability of Green.
