All That is Solid Melts into Air is a two screen video installation about globalisation, dematerialisation and commodity fetishism.

On one screen, guerilla warriors from the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta fight oil corporations who mine their land and leave them poor.

Opposite futures and derivatives traders at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange buy and sell near metaphysical financial products, while the first investment bank collapses and the credit crisis begins.
