While investigating the source of a leak at the suspended Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colorado, EPA workers accidentally released approximately three million gallons of contaminated water from the mine into a river, polluting water sources in Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Golden Prospects is an immersive installation – shot at the mine, nearby rivers and the surrounding landscapes – that points to the difficulties of distinguishing between what is natural and what is caused by human interference, asking us to question whether, and how, to trust the elements that nurture and sustain us.
Golden Prospects is part of an ongoing series of works titled Water Rites exploring the water sources of Los Angeles. The series forces us to consider our most precious resources, and to reconcile our current actions with our future world.
