Look Closely at the Mountains

“Look closely at the mountains” – this is the slogan that Brazilian artist Manfredo de Souza Neto once coined to protest rampant mineral extraction in Minas Gerais. Ana Vaz creates a comparison via audiovisual montage of this ongoing, dire Brazilian situation, with a different outcome in Nord-Pas-de-Calais in France, where such extraction has ceased and, as a surprising result, emerging forms of biodiversity are being caught, measured and catalogued. Plunging us into obscurities of both sound and vision, Vaz offers an ambiguous, report on these troubling yet poetic technological mutations of nature and life. (Adrian Martin)
