Paper Planes II Pankaj Tiwari & Nick Verstand

Paper Planes II is a poetic political reflection on climate change and the relationship between the West and the global south, about diverse realities, about dreams, about shame. For some, the airplane is a symbol of mindless overconsumption and for others, it is a vessel of dreams. Who is allowed to fly and whose dreams must remain on the ground?

15.000 paperplanes are folded by Pankaj Tiwari over a year and a half symbolizing the 15.000 euros required from non-EU citizens to be able to apply for a European student visa. Together with Nick Verstand he transformed the planes into an instillation.

Surrounded by the 15,000 paper planes, the audience is confronted with the ethics of flying in a globalized world. Questioning capitalist conceptions of environmental justice through installation, storytelling, poetic reflections, and experimental sound, Paper Planes II is a quest for a desirable future, away from oversimplified narratives.
