Land of the Jaguar

A short movie by Oto Hudec portrays a simple performative painting in hills above the Jaguar-Land Rover factory in Nitra, Slovakia. Slovakia is the biggest producer of cars per capita. However, although creating jobs, the negative side of the car industry is its high emissions, taking into account produced vehicles, especially SUVs. The Jaguar Land Rover factory in NItra is built on fertile soil close to a pittoresque forest of Zobor mountain. In a video, a painter is covering the image of the factory with layers of paint, until there are no traces of civilization- the urbanisation is turned back to forests and grassland- as this landscape might look thousands of years ago.
