Week 8 - The forgotten space

Some links on Allan Sekula and Noel Burch's film The Forgotten Space:

The full film (with Spanish subtitles, but hey)

The official film site

A discussion with art historian Benjamin Buchloh, Marxist geographer David Harvey and director Allan Sekula, with accompanying article on the film by Jennifer Burris

The 20-minute 'container' sequence from the film (if you watch only this, you'll still get an idea of the film's content and strategies)

And a few primary sources that might usefully address the ocean/waste gap in 'blue humanities' approaches to the Anthropocene:
