METABOLISM

A portrait of a living, working ecology and the multispecies it sustains, in METABOLISM, the body is land and land is body. For the Wadawurrung, Wirribi-yaluk (Werribee river) is the ‘spine’ of Country, a waterway that has perpetuated life since time immemorial. Filmed around the Western Treatment Plant (WTP), Victoria, METABOLISM considers the interdependencies between human and more-than-human bodies and the consumption, colonisation and capitalisation of land.
