Nation Building
against Colony Making
a Landmark Perspective
in the Francophonie
Across the ocean from Haiti to Algeria stretches the French colonial effect, the very stones still shout their memory today
01
Mission
To showcase the usage of landmarks in nation building and colony making. You will visually experience the power and see the meaning of landmarks - and how this has been used for and against the benefit of people.
The key theme is the contrast between the two concepts, which will be shown through streets and statues - the two most common objects that experience change with each clash of nation building versus colony making.
02
Purpose
Often, the clashing concepts of nation building and colony making cross over one another and are challenging to distinguish.
This visual experience has been tailored to deliver the nuances with picturesque clarity to ensure the understanding of the clashing concepts.
03
Focus
This experience focuses on Algeria, a nation rich in landmarks of colony making and nation building, a land which has seen much struggle against imperialism and colonialism. The historic suffering of the Algerian peoples is unignorable, and this work is wholly dedicated to those peoples.
