Ecotone

Synopsis

Audiovisual essay that focuses on border zones to explore the control practices exerted over different spaces to keep them separate. Structured as a series of “fields” ordered from largest to smallest scale (from vast protected natural areas to tiny bodily spaces), “Ecotone” critiques contemporary forms of capitalism such as surveillance capitalism and biocapitalism. Using a wide variety of visual material, it combines and demonstrates the relationships between economic, political, historical, and environmental aspects.
