Synopsis
In 'Moskitos,' the relentless carriers of diseases such as Yellow Fever and Zika, Aedes and Anopheles mosquitoes, take center stage. Amidst Vienna's landmarks, a ritual ceremony initiates a spiritual and healing journey fracturing anthropocentric colonial views. It unveils a future where other species flourish and the earth reclaims her territory. A visual manifesto of an archaeology of a Capitalist Civilisation that failed. Moskitos though, survived!
