Petrosexuality – A lecture about power, sex and fossil fuels
Madeleine AnderssonIn her performance lecture, artist Madeleine Andersson explores the concept of petrosexuality to describe how desire, lust and power are interwoven in the history of fossil fuels. Here, she examines how the catastrophic consequences of global energy systems are not only driven by economic needs but also must be understood through desire and power logics that feed a voracious urge to penetrate, extract and burn.
