o Description: Andean Activist Maxima Acuna is currently in dispute with the Conga Gold Mine, which wishes to seize her property to build a gold mine. In this image, I staged in 2019, she is feeding her horse, Lucero, an apple coated in edible gold leaf. Through the horse's metabolism, the gold leaf is broken into fine particles. Its manure is then spread through the grounds to cultivate potatoes, valuing shit over gold in the subsistence farmer's economy. So far, Maxima has won all of her legal battles, and inspired an environmental movement in Peru.
