FIFTY MILLION TONS

Fifity Million Tons explores the ethical question of the right to die. Referencing the harvesting of HeLa¹ cells that now exist in this volume within our universe the film re-animates an octopus, a creature that has nuerological tissue throught it’s body and further questions the relationship between mind-body, what we are and what we own.

^{1 HeLa cells are the only human cells to be classified as immortal, they were taken from a cancer patient Henrietta Lacks, and reproduced without her consent after her death in 1951}
