Pilea Peperomioides (Precarity Fetishes and Aspirational Beings)

10:36

A video about a house plant, the police-state, and a protagonist whose desire to build a contained world for herself must inevitably be shattered. An experiment in world-building, each scene uses a different image-making tool: line animation, video, 3D modeling, and video game construction. The narrative employs different vantage points for talking about the world through a single plant, known for its ability to be propagated and shared.
