Research about past supercontinents associated to a geological era gives space in thinking about the formation of each natural resource in relationship to tectonic plates shifting. As each past super continent drifts, erupts, collides, separates it has created the minerals that give shape to the objects we make and use.
Starting as a short fiction text Tchoudjinoff began to form an imagined world of cities in a future Amasia. The two presented at Neort include cities named after minerals that are heavily sought – gold and coal.
In a world where these natural resources are no longer; what would it look like and who would be the inhabitants? The City of Gold imagines a current desert in Amasia next to a body of ocean instead. The City of Coal alludes to regenerative tactics of desertification.
