In a Hanoian hotel room, sometime in the future mid-2040s, an anonymous PR officer from a synthetic rubber factory in Hanoi, Vietnam, named BP102 meets with an underground documentary crew to discuss the declining supply chain of natural rubber. Clad in a full-body black rubber suit that was passed down from his grandfather, BP102 talks about rubber through a historical materialist lens (the Marxist theory that economic conditions drive history). He paints a portrait of rubber’s traumatic but transformative impact on his home country Vietnam, interspliced with archival footage from early 2020s kink parties, revolutionary monuments in rubber plantations and a popular rubber influencer’s short-form content. BP102 recognises the uncanniness of his position as both a descendant of the pain of rubber plantations and a current rubber enthusiast. At some point, BP102 begins improvising the rest of the interview despite being under partial sensory deprivation due to his rubber hood. Enjoy!
