2013-2014
Mounds of books are discharged in a recycling plant in an inexorable
process of destruction echoing the deafening noise from industrial
clamour. The soundtrack, produced using nearly a thousand samples
primarily recorded in situ, the outrageous size of the images, the
fragmented and constantly shifting views, pull the audience into a
dizzying spin into the massive destruction of knowledge. Oscillating
between gripping historical references and examination of the
environmental impact of our modes of production, AD NAUSEAM reflects
Man’s capacity for self-destruction. Captured by the flux and monumental
nature of the images, the viewer cannot take in the entire scene and
distance himself from it.
