Description

Physical Description:

A digital animation created from hand-drawn watercolors depicts a scrolling landscape that gradually morphs from one scene to the next. The images feature elements drawn from historical Ford advertisements, with the cars and most human figures omitted. The work also includes archival footage of Fordlândia in the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest with industrial and nature sounds playing.
