They shift between details and overviews, \u003cbr\u003elandscapes and portraits, the familiar and the foreign, disorientating the viewer as to what\u003cbr\u003eand where they are looking at. The images are cinematic--dark and brooding skies, \u003cbr\u003edramatic landscapes lit by gas flares, collapsing ruins of buildings. Deviating from straight\u003cbr\u003edocumentary, the book constructs new narratives of associative imagery to tell the story of\u003cbr\u003eexploitation--both by international companies and by those living in the areas impacted by\u003cbr\u003etheir presence, in turn, hacking into the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e'Wahala translates the violence of these global mechanisms of fossil fuel extraction into\u003cbr\u003evisibilities that help us grasp their complexity...
