Waste Land

In the space where the presentation is planned a 20–30 cm layer of soil is formed. The soil comes from places of mass murders which were either committed officially or in secret. These are murders after which all traces have been wiped out and are still being wiped out in practically every place in the world. Contaminated landscapes (like in Martin Pollack’s book of the same title) are everywhere, wherever we go and we don’t realize it. How is the life of people who live in Ciudad Juárez in Mexico and other places in the world? Do we know what the earth that we tread, live on and cultivate is hiding?

In the layered soil coming from one or more places genetically modified seeds are planted, the growth of which is “blocked.”
