| Beschreibung (de) | - block to blob
This diploma project details the material stream of synthetic plastics through a reverse chronological approach. It combines field research, visual documentation, and material experimentation to retrace the journey of plastics from their final products back to their origins in petroleum.
‘block to blob’ includes visits to various sites in the production chain, such as manufacturing facilities, oil refineries, pipelines, and extraction sites, concluding in a forest ecosystem, where crude oil naturally seeps to the earth's surface. These experiences are compiled into a research publication that follows this reverse narrative.
A video installation documents the visited locations, providing visual context for the industrial processes, hidden infrastructure and the natural substance in the forest. Additionally, a series of objects made from petroleum-coated wood and polystyrene grounds the project in tangible materials.
