Energy in Hidden Form (2021-ongoing)

The results of an ephemeral exothermic demonstration.

Sugar, baking soda, 90% alcohol, aluminum foil pie pan, plexiglass, black sand

The expended black carbon lumps in Energy in Hidden Form are the result of sugar oxidizing and the decomposition of baking soda after being exposed to an open flame. Exhaustion here stands in as the means through which the Black enslaved body (and labor) is exhausted (and extracted), as well as defined by its limits for maximum production.
