A Constant Struggle

A thought experiment: Nowadays, the alien constructions fit seamlessly into the architecture of local language. As neophytes of unexplained origin, they are overgrown by plants and stand firmly anchored in the soil. They have become part of the landscape, part of earth, part of mythology. As ecosystems become unbalanced, the unknown becomes commonplace, the foreign becomes familiar. "A Constant Struggle" tells a story about the Anthropocene, about the influence of mankind on the history of the earth and about contemporary geo-political processes that influence the appearance of the planet.
