THE CURRENCY - Sensing 1 Agbogbloshie


Experimental Short Film by Elom 20ce (Togo), Musquiqui Chihying (Taiwan) and Gregor Kasper (Germany) / 16 mins / Representing as World Sales

A landscape of electronic equipment leftovers, embedded in biting clouds of smoke, burnt earth and dirty water.
In Agbogbloshie - one of the world's largest e-waste recycling sites in the middle of Accra - they were dismantled and burnt in order to return their metals to the industrial recycling cycles.
In between, an observer who, by means of acoustic field research, investigates this place as a contact zone of complex global economic, social, power-political and technological processes and questions this from a spiritual perspective.
