Virtuous Cycles of Prosperity

multimedia installation: animation on digital flipchart, drawing on whiteboard, furniture, text, sound; 2023

Vicious Cycles of Prosperity is part of a body of work that uses the imagery and vocabulary of mainstream economics to reflect on ecology, time, and capitalism. The video and drawings are based on the supply and demand graphs usually used to describe price changes in free market economies. Instead of commodities, though, these graphs are inhabited by nonhuman beings that present different logics of growth.
