Deep Weather
Ursula Biemann
“My work has focused, in recent years, on oil and water as the two primordial liquids that form the undercurrents of all narrations as they activate profound changes in the planetary ecology. In Deep Weather, I draw the connection between the relentless reach for fossil resources with their toxic impact on the climate, and the consequences this has for indigenous populations in remote parts of the world.
The first part of the video comments on the huge open pit extraction zone for tar sands in the midst of the vast boreal forests of Northern Canada. The second part then turns to the consequences of the melting Himalayan ice fields, rising planetary sea levels, geo-thermal disasters and extreme weather events that increasingly define the living condition in Bangladesh and documents the gigantic community effort in building protective mud embankments.”
