In this smart and colourful animation Ana Pérez López stitches together a series anecdotes and ruminations on the banana to explore the modern history of this exceptionally popular fruit. The effect is at once informative and ephemeral – a playful reflection on the peculiarities of taste, capitalism and culture as well as the past, present and future global food politics.
