Acting/Music: Bob VillainJust Listen Why Don’t You Listen brings together the Atacama salt flats in Chile, site of the world’s largest lithium mine, a Tesla engulfed in flames outside the Trump Hotel, drone warfare footage from Ukraine, and staged performance. The footage includes corporate ads, battlefield feeds, and ritual actions. Each element operates within a system where visibility, control, and extraction are tightly linked.
The video points to a structure in which destruction serves as display, and resource management functions as public messaging. These materials circulate across industries, technologies, and ideologies through shared formats.
