GRAIN
BAKING IMAGES OF STORED SUN
2023In collaboration with Maddalena Lenzi, Fabrizio di Salvo & Martin Wöllenstein.
“Bread is the product of both nature and culture. It has served as condition of peace and cause of war, pledge of hope and source of despair.”
An experimental video essay through the speculative lens of wheat productions by Camila Chebez, Maddalena Lenzi, Fabrizio Disalvo and Martin Wöllenstein. Captured are scenes of dough making and wheat industry infrastructures in Basel underlying a “code/protocol of emergency”. What landscape-like forms emerge through the interplay of light, tactile manipulation and the quantification of safety?
