Morichales

In Guayana, Venezuela, vast reserves of gold lie hidden beneath the Moriche palms, attracting crowds of prospectors to the area. A hypothetical narrator travels from the remote mines deep in the jungle to the banks of the Orinoco River, trying to understand the prospects of this uncertain fortune. His reflections combine illustrations and photochemical paintings to map the mining and trading of gold in Venezuela, while questioning man’s extractive relationship with nature.
