Amateur PET is a time-based installation inspired by the economic and political term of “Oil Curse”. The installation depicts the so-called oil curse as a seemingly living, but indefinable creature. Its breathing rhythm is a translation of OPEC oil prices from 1980 to the current year. The creature’s body is made of PET foil that constantly rustles with its movement.
