Outbreak of tensions and global conflicts are increasingly fuelled by the desire for oil. Energy has always been sought as the most important commodity that brings high income to governments that control its production and distribution. When we think of the Middle East, we think of crude oil. Olive oil, with its long production line of harvesting, pressing and distribution, falls back in second place, forgotten as an integral part of every mediterranean man’s life. “OilMill” takes these two natural resources and puts them on the front line by comparing the exhausted Middle Eastern land to a drained oil mill and taking the olive oil industry as an example of how man can become chained to energy, petroleum and gas. Furthermore, the project takes a different outlook on the olive oil cycle, the people working in it and its consumers. Using borders and natural frontiers to trace the lands of oil from the Middle East to Europe. The OilMill project is a collaborative project with Italian Artist Daniele Casciari.
