Unser Rohstoff

The poster series "Our Resource" addresses the issue of resource extraction and the problems associated with it. I chose the elements lithium, cobalt, and nickel – all three are essential in battery production. These resources are non-renewable and therefore limited.

This I want to highlight by making them break in different fashions and asking questions to the viewer, encouraging reflection: How much is enough? Who owns it? Our resource, your suffering? These questions are the only thing that remains after the resources are gone.

For the looping animation it was important to not make the stones reassemble into a whole, but instead have a new one come in. The movement resembles the endless paradox circle.
