Inquire To Those Who Create the Future is a filmic meditation on lithium — the so-called “white gold” of the clean energy transition — and the violent logics that underwrite its extraction.

The work traverses entangled themes: extractive economies, colonial residues, techno-utopian fantasies, and the viral drift of ideology across digital networks.

Filmed across contested geographies — from Chile’s vast Atacama salt flats to the lithium-laced Salton Sea and the scorched oil fields of the Mojave — the work situates itself within zones of speculative extraction and ecological precarity.
