‘(dis)locations’ depicts the alteration of landscapes through digital topography. Each scenery represents a variation of time and space. Captured at different moments, every pattern of land is merged into a single image created by satellite renderings. The patchwork of digital mapping composed of fragmented landscapes expresses the technological difficulties to precisely represent a location on Earth. These abstract sceneries found online describe a paralleled reality where seasons and time are combined and blend into each other, forming a dreamlike landscape.
