Pratchaya Phinthong, The blind threat, 2017

Light Box, 16 mm film stock
105 x 66 x 6.5 cm
Edition of 1 (+ 1 A.P.)

The Blind Threat (01) is a work linked to the project A proposal to set CH4*5.75H20 on fire, as the 16mm film stock that constitues it on a lightbox shows methane hydrate as it burns. Exposing film stock to light underlines its fragility and establishes a parrallel with the very subject of the film: a volatile ice compound that may change the balance between the industries of energy. The title is inspired from a chapter of a book about the ‘clean revolution’ and a metaphor for what we are unable to see.
