In the mercurial desert of West Texas, an alien ecology emerges from beneath the glow of industrial flare stacks. VESSEL illuminates the ancient, nonhuman systems that endure in a land scarred by oil extraction.
The Permian Basin is an ancient sea that has transmogrified into America’s largest oil field.
VESSEL is nonhuman ecological theater, where human scale, hierarchy, and dominance have no conceptual bearing. What remains is life moving through containers, unburdened by the constraints of mortality.
