Other Landscape

On the land's surface, a group of black oxidized pyramidal structures covered with sweats of oil and tar stand open-top. Like ziggurats or industrial chimneys, empty, isolated, and marginal forms await in a silent landscape; within each structure, hollow and deep terrains absorb the light. These voids in space are stripped of their meaning. Under this imagined city lies another structure of oil pipes woven deep into the ground, exposing an invisible world more powerful. This space has become violated, and the violation is tolerated. It is becoming more widespread and threatening the entire society, causing political, economic, and environmental chaos. This work explores a speculative rendering of a post-oil future. Suppose we are digging up deeply rooted antiquities to understand the origin of human life. How will future archaeology reveal the chaos of subterranean oil pipes below our land? What will remain? What is our heritage for the future?
