Shadow Circuits focuses on so-called "shadow geologies": the often invisible processes of resource extraction, transport, processing, and consumption. The exhibition demonstrates that these processes are not neutral. They are historically linked to colonial power structures and often still place labour and environmental risks on indigenous communities and former colonies.
Instead of large-scale industrial images, Shadow Circuits shows how these systems directly impact our daily lives. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on their own role within these global chains. Where does the energy we use daily come from? Who bears the costs of our consumption? And how can we relate more consciously to the materials and networks that underpin our lives?
