The silo is a container for grain, feed, cement, sand, wood chips, and other materials. My silos partially refer to industrial forms of storage and to the temporal delay between extraction and use. At the same time, they evoke smaller, communal forms of storing such as rain barrels, attics, or storage spaces for harvests and cooking events shared by families or communities.

In their form and function, silos can also be related to tanks for oil, gasoline, or other fuels. These store not only material but also energetic resources, pointing toward infrastructures of consumption, dependency, and control. They expand the reflection on storage and release of energy, material, or surplus.
