This visualization muddies the boundaries between body and landscape. The caption further elucidates the contradictions of toxicity within capitalism: the fishers lament the decrease in harvest since the pollution of the river, but will not acknowledge the possibility of cotamination in the product they are selling.
This visualization muddies the distinctions between the body and the landscape. The caption further elucidates the contradictions in toxicity under capitalism: while the fishers lament the decreased harvest since the river has become polluted, they reject the idea that the product they are selling could be contaminated.
I can't. The caption explains the image while posing relevant questions about the (in)visibility of toxicity in the daily lives and markets of the community.
I assume the image is taken by the author. It is thoughtfully composed, revealing the structure and materiality of the vessel as well placing the fishers against the background of industry. They are silhouettes, obscured by darkness, but bodily against the fog.
I really can't. The image tells a rich story: I can see the fish, the harvest that will become commodity, freshly drawn from a landscape whose toxicity is implied by the industrial background. It's clear what is going on and the composition itself is pleasing.
This visualization emphasizes the slippage between the body and the landscape as toxicity can flow between the two. It underscores the porosity of barriers we take for granted. Contaminants flow from industry to water, from water to fish, from fish to humans, through cycles of visibility and invisibility. Contamination is alternately acknowledged, denied, or ignored depending on the risks posed to livelihoods and markets.
This visualization muddies the boundaries between body and landscape, illustrating how toxicity can flow between their porous barriers. The caption elucidates the contradictions of living with toxicity under capitalism: the fishers lament their reduced harvest since the river has become polluted but will not acknowledge that their product could be contamintated.
I really can't. The caption beautifully captures what is happening in the image, visible or not.
I assume the image is taken by the author. The composition is a bit central, but the image is thoughtfully composed. The materiality of the vessel is highlighted, the fresh fish shine, and the bodies of the fishers are anonymous, silhouetted against a fog of industry.
Again, I can't. The image, in combination with the caption, very effectively communicates the relationships between bodies, resources, landscape, and toxics.
