Sticky Entanglements: The unmaking of two miracles - 2022, Two-Channel Video, Digital, Loop 11:25
 ARCUS Project, Moriya, Japan Looking at crops and soil as living archives, the project explores the critical materiality and hidden narratives of cross breeding rice; addressing landscape formation and the cultivation and commercialisation of genetically modified crops as a technology of control. Focusing on entangled readings of Hōrai rice, — the Japanese Empire rice engineering project in colonial Taiwan (1895-1945)— the work attempts to visibilize a counter cartography within the engineered body of the seed where varying layers of power, knowledge, science and ecologies are ingrained within.
