Fordlandia: Potentia And The Saved Night

Melanie Smith: Fordlandia is a journey of (de) colonisation with which the English artist continues its aesthetic investigation around the drifts of the modernity in places uncertain of its imaginary ones.

Now it touches (des) explore the Amazon: the tensions between the industrial landscape and the natural, between the living and the machine. Thought as an illustrated book of dialogue between the artist and the curator, and accompanied by a philosophical essay on the forms of mere life and night saved, Fordlandia is a historical-political question about the meaning of the world in the contemporary world.
