at FIT (Freie International Tankstelle/Free International Petrol Station), Berlin

Tracing the infrastructure of trucking and transport, the project is a form of examination and meditation on the truck and the trucker as a slippery signifier. Oscillating between the pure functionality of the movement of goods and the poetics of being on the road, trucking generates an array of mythologies that in turn are tied to concrete policies regarding trade. Including video interviews with truckers from the US, Europe and Brazil discussing life on the road and related business of trucking, along with a video animation work that aims to represent the complex field of trucking and trade, as a site of both physical and phantasmic bodies and movements, the work is installed at FIT, Berlin, a project space housed in an old petrol station.
