Filipinos are domestic workers in Angola and construction workers in Japan. They staff the oil fields of Libya, with hundreds of thousands working as nannies in Hong Kong. They sing on the stages of remote provinces in China and help run hotels in the Middle East. A quarter of the world’s seafarers are Filipino, comprising 70% of workers on Japanese boats. If they disappear. Everything disappears.

Everything Has Disappeared focuses on the very unique relationship the Filipino diaspora has to the global economy: they are everywhere and deeply involved in our lives as central threads in a tapestry that defines human dignity itself. Don’t think your life is interwoven with our Filipino brothers and sisters? Using digital interactive technologies - and a little magic - Everything Has Disappeared will prove otherwise. You will never look at your world the same again.

Everything Has Disappeared has been created to illuminate our collective identity as one big gigantic collection of swarming. Within this swarming, we exist as unique individual selves who - together - all serve a distinct role in keeping this world working in some kind of functional chaos - making moves and living life that sustain our interconnected nature.
