Displacement’ is a visual investigation of architectural constructs built by transnational companies that can be rather categorized as ’Zones of Exclusion and Exploitation’ – places where a life is no longer possible or gets complicated by social conflicts, economic destabilization or natural disaster. Areas like Chernobyl or Fukushima could be named but also unknown oil platforms in North Africa, gold mines in South America, palm oil plantations in Asia or Trump’s wall at the borders to Mexico. This dystopian places emphasize accumulation of power that forces man to adapt to and act according to its conditions. International human rights lose their meanings and this destabilizing effects force ividividuals to immigration. The material shown is aerial photographs of a drone. Since our eyes can not overlook the extent of such large investments, we have to resort to technological means to perceive the environment differently (from above).
