Barrancabermeja 2032 (2018)

Extrapolating from José Lizarazo’s “Barranquilla 2132” (1932) - one of the first Colombian science-fiction novels - Barrancabermeja 2032 tells the story of an excursion to Ecopetrol’s defunct fracking fields in central Colombia from the perspective of four characters: a gringo tourist, a union worker, a street team marketer and a sociologist. An artistic research project on petro-politics and the Colombian post-conflict in the form of a speculative post-petro fiction. The video installation was shown with costumes made for the characters and was accompanied by readings.
