Installation, 2009

Ink-jet prints, polystyrene, staples, pins, h: 180cm, w: 260cm, d: 240cm

Casting the role of a modern explorer, the artist uses search engines to travel the web, gleaning photographs from private and corporate websites, photo-sharing sites and travel blogs, to create a three-dimensional installation forming a miniature landscape located somewhere between fiction and reality. The work is concerned with the way foreign places are portrayed and the aura they possess through their state of remoteness, looking at similitudes and dissimilitudes.

This installation is part of a larger and continuous project, constituted of a series of eponymous installations.
