ABSTRACT

FUTURELAND 2008-2010 - A project for a video installation and a photographic series.

FUTURELAND is a project that investigates and discovers the impact of the astonishing urban growth and development such as the rapid expansion of cities on their inhabitants and the environment as well as on the relation between architecture, public space, society and time by using video and photography.

FUTURELAND is a project that intends to examine these phenomena. Its core concept is to explore in detail the constitution and structures of different urban organisms. Within a visual and narrative atlas of 10 selected Mega Cities spread on 4 continents these cities will be individually portait in their spatial, social and architectural conditions.
Each of these cities has its own scale, form, density and diversity that shall be quantified, memorized and compared. From an artistic, personal and subjective view, the project transmits a temporary experience of new and old Mega Cities on their transformation to future Giga Cities.
