{"product_id":"wahala-9781910401705","title":"Wahala","description":"The photographs in the book were made in the oil fields of the Niger Delta, Nigeria; the coal\u003cbr\u003ebelt of Jharkhand, India; and the open cast mines of Brandenburg and North Rhine Westphalia in Germany and Silesia in Poland. They shift between details and overviews, \u003cbr\u003elandscapes and portraits, the familiar and the foreign, disorientating the viewer as to what\u003cbr\u003eand where they are looking at. The images are cinematic--dark and brooding skies, \u003cbr\u003edramatic landscapes lit by gas flares, collapsing ruins of buildings. Deviating from straight\u003cbr\u003edocumentary, the book constructs new narratives of associative imagery to tell the story of\u003cbr\u003eexploitation--both by international companies and by those living in the areas impacted by\u003cbr\u003etheir presence, in turn, hacking into the system.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e'Wahala translates the violence of these global mechanisms of fossil fuel extraction into\u003cbr\u003evisibilities that help us grasp their complexity...
