RODACACA
VIDEO PERFORMANCE BY FINA FERRARA
RODACACA draws a parallel between the behavior of the dung beetle and the way humans deal with the waste we produce. As an environmental critique, the piece exposes how we accumulate garbage without questioning the consequences, turning our immediate surroundings —our home, the planet— into a container of our own debris.
With a tone that is both ironic and direct, the video confronts us with our responsibility in the ecological crisis. The final message, “Your home, your trash. Your trash, your home,” underscores the urgent need to reconsider how we inhabit the world and relate to what we discard.
