Co2 and other toxins (2016)

Choreographic and Installative Project, 50 min, Germany.

A project by Bianca Mendonca, Katharina Geyer and Thaís de Almeida Prado

"Co2 and other toxins” is a project inspired by the photographic documentation of Mariana’s landscape after the dam collapse that happened in November 2015. Flora and fauna from Rio Doce in Minas Gerais, south-east of Brazil, were and still is killed by chemically contaminated clay. Those catastrophic images have brought the feeling of death by asphyxia, and this was the starting point for our choreographic and images creation.
