Introduction to Marc Augé

The theorist behind “Sets, Structures, Relations”

Related to Marc Augé’s observation and his idea of non-places, the exhibition discusses modern urban cityscapes generated by modified architectural structures and their consequence on social realities. By taking Marc Augé’s thoughts further, that places are defined by history and identity – and more abstractly by the relation of time and space – the exhibition investigates places that were de-contextualized from their usual environment.
