A tall balsa tree tr

A tall balsa tree trunk, endemic to the subtropical jungles of Ecuador, has been cut down and from it, in the middle of Amazonian forest, containers containing local fossil fuels are suspended. The energy paradigm fed the emancipatory dreams of modern societies; Adrián Balseca's artistic work opposes the momentum of accumulation and individualism of late capitalism, other ways of being in the world that include solidarity, collectivism, materiality and questioning wealth as a form of power based on the extraction of fossil fuels. Adrián Balseca, 'Suspensión I', 2019, presented by Galería Senda, Barcelona. #loopbarcelona #artistfilm #video #film #adriánbalseca #amazon #ecuador #fuel #jungle #capitalism
