Places That Do Not Exist Goggle Earth 10

The project Places that do not Exist Goggle Earth 10 consists of a series of portraits and films of places which do not appear on Google Earth which we travelled to in order to document their true appearance through vid eos and photographs which in the installation were then contrasted with the false vision which we see on Google Earth These were military grounds and training camps govern ment buildings natural parks where speculators have constructed illegal apartment blocks nudist beaches in Spain Colombia Ecuador Russia and Australia The catalogue of land scapes which for various reasons Google Earth glosses over is endless and often very surprising The project therefore confronts this unrealistic and yet supposedly objective view of Google Earth from a realistic yet nevertheless subjective point of view of the groundlevel images we have of these places which in spite of eve rything do exist
