'(dis)locations - trace' portrays the ongoing alteration of landscapes captured by a digital apparatus. A glitch on Google Earth has imprinted patches of colour into the icy landscapes, emphasising the accidental human trace left through the topographical process. The fragmented view depicts the unpredictable changes occurring due to global warming. As environmental issues remain our current biggest concern, these images provide the visual aftermath of the devastating impact of humans on our planet.
