In a world where we enjoy a fake image of endless resources, where we sucked the earth to draw out the last bits, how do we continue to pump? The operation of pumping, that is, moving matters from one location to another, seems to be at the core of most vital processes of both production and reproduction. We draw, suck, elicit, and drain the earth’s body to enrich our lives on it, emptying our future(s). At the same time, we suck, boost, inject and inflate our bodies, transgressing their capacities. Pumping can paradoxically be at the same time capitalist practice of exhaustion as well as the feminist practice of enrichment and enhancement. Once pumped on one side, the other one is being sucked. Perhaps, eventually this piece will be busy with wasting, emptying and exhausting. One thing is certain, “I need a new body” will take place in-between: between a body as an exhibition and a body as a resource while looking at the place where these two intersect.
