Endless is an atmospheric installation and looping film work that explores Aotearoa’s reliance on phosphate rock from occupied Western Sahara. While living in Ōtepoti Dunedin, Matthew Galloway saw the same view of Otago Harbour every evening. Across the water, a plume of smoke rises from the chimney of the Ravensdown Factory as the sun sets. This factory processes phosphate rock into the fertiliser used to make our agriculture industry more productive. However, in order to make this crucial product, Aotearoa is currently reliant on imports of phosphate rock from occupied Western Sahara. By purchasing this rock, we are helping fund Morocco’s brutal occupation of this territory, where those indigenous to Western Sahara are either heavily persecuted within the occupied zone, or live in Algerian refugee camps.
