Multimedia installation
2011"Y/our space" exhibition, Vienna

Fukuoka's dream/This is war  Multimedia installation with cannonball firing seed balls onto a pile of soil

A cannonball fires seed balls every time the share prices of biotechnology groups rise on the stock exchange. With each new piece of stock-market information, the balls are shot into a hip of composted earth opposite the gun. The sprouting of the organic seeds and the growing process of the edible plants can be observed throughout the exhibition term. Also, a video on the wall shows an action in a public space where the cannonball could be seen in action as a piece of urban pop art.

Fukuoka's dream installation directly responds to the current global agricultural policies and comments about our consumerist and nutritional practices as a society.
