World Trade Opera
"8 minutes and 50 seconds. We have released 375,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Trees have produced 171,000 tons of oxygen." This travelling-film exposes the state of the world through a real-time chronology of planetary processes. World Trade Opera is a multilingual work in which the artist explores the expressive possibilities of digital tools in order to create a visual and sound incantation. It stretches from global perspectives to micro-perceptions, from the communication of meaning to impenetrable saturation.
