The Climate Cultures Festival’s accompanying photo exhibition "Raw Materials – Fine Photos. Scandalous Landscapes" will be on display in BABYLON’s two gallery spaces from November 27-29, 2021.
The show, which showcases work from Kiliii Yuyan, Rena Effendi, and J Henry Fair, is meant to evoke the dramatic moment of the earth’s decompose as it appears in landscapes scandalized by oil production and devastated by carbon industries.
In the upstairs room’s selection, the viewer enters to witness the abstracted event of the end of the world, not in a dystopic sense necessarily but in its deracinated reality as it happens now and already and in the future, everywhere and nowhere and at home.
The downstairs space’s collection lays bare the landscapes and figures left behind as symptoms of mankind’s activity. The rest of the visual concept then extends into the political, where the actual faces and social implications of oil production are exposed in documentary work of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, particularly by Rena Effendi.
