“Speculative Cartographies: Mapping 5 sites of difficult history in Eastern Poland.”
Non-invasive technologies play an important role when investigating and mapping unmarked mass grave sites. Satellites are utilized for photos, while LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) creates 3D representations of the surface with light. Exploring the shift from macro to micro perspectives in our research materials, the landscapes of five forested research sites are transformed into handheld wooden sculptural forms.
