Around 50% of the gold mined worldwide is processed in discrete refineries in Switzerland. The work complex "The Psychotropic Refinary", manifests itself in this new exhibition as an immersive video projection and a psychoactive spatial setting with aetheric essences and mud, residue from a Swiss Gold refinery. knowbotiq fabulate about the incorporation of gold into all of our raw metabolism. The video Swiss Psychotropic Gold uses digital found footage in a critical fabulation to bring together the worlds in which precariously mined gold is secretly transformed into derivative stock market products, components of high-tech technologies, or libidinous wellness products. The work delves into gold and mercury amalgams—mercury is used to wash gold out of the earth—and emerges into a fictional psychotropic refinery for healing the collective subconscious of gold.
