While 2020 has presented many with unprecedented challenges, Tony Vazquez-Figueroa has used the isolating collateral effects of COVID-19 as the fuel behind his thoughts that would ultimately become PETROPIAS.
Tony Vazquez-Figueroa describes PETROPIAS: A Preview as follows:
“What you see here is a sort of a preview, a glimpse into some of the ideas developed in PETROPIAS, where I investigate how oil-rich countries create not only unique physical environments like oil refineries, but also peculiar socio-economic and cultural environments, similar to those elaborated by philosopher Michel Foucault in his concept of Heterotopia. PETROPIAS plays on the petrostate, entropy and dystopia and revolves around idea of holes, refineries, and containers as revealed both structurally and metaphorically.”
