Abstract

The city of Bruxl is entering a period of strict quarantine: any trade of seeds is now forbidden because a mutated fungus has been detected in the city’s crops. Quarantines are so common these days that people do not offer much resistance anymore. Our story follows the travel of Rob’, a native of Bruxl who grew up and lives in Madrid. S·he is deeply concerned with what s·he sees as the beginning of a widespread privatization of seeds. S·he sets off to Bruxl in order to bring some free and reproducible seeds to counter the prohibition. The journey between the two cities is a long and exhaustive one: Rob rides per bike and embarks on ships along the remaining commercial routes of Western Europe. Along the way, the story unfolds this young idealist’s hopes of spreading his know-how about the reproduction of domesticated plants in a world where honey-bearing insects have almost disappeared. In parallel it tracks the evolution of the situation in Bruxl where the fungus invades all the monocultures, as well as the news Rob receives from per twin sister, who lives in Bruxl and is now in love with a technophile young man from the uptown neighborhoods. ; Online Exhibition ; info:eu-repo/semantics/published
