Monira Al Qadiri deals intensively with the social, cultural and ecological dimensions of the oil industry. In her works, she sheds light on the links between oil as the central fossil fuel of the 20th century and the rise of consumer capitalism. Al Qadiri has developed several new groups of works for the Berlinische Galerie. The central motif of the exhibition is the oil tanker: not only a gigantic means of transportation on the world's oceans, but also a symbol of power-political interests, global inequality and ecological crises. Its monumental presence tells of an industry that enables a comfortable lifestyle but at the same time destroys the planet. Despite the incipient transition to renewable energies, the toxic legacy of oil exploitation continues to have an impact: in the sea and in the air, in cities, infrastructures and even in our bodies.
