About

Our research has led us to note that thinking of a nonhuman entity in human ways renders it worthy of moral care and consideration. Thus, we strive to a create plot line, an overarching meta narrative from an anthropomorphic perspective based on visuals and camera decisions, which can make a commentary on the current situation of over-consumption. We try to associate movements and happenings from the world around us, like floods, growth, tornadoes as well as discrete daily movements like throwing, or falling down, and re-interpret them in a new and stranger perspective. The current scenario of over-consumption and affluence forces us to think about the waste as an entity having agency and power of thought. This agency allows us to pose a plot in which the waste of the city is on the move, to emigrate.
