Wouter Strout’s (Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 1995) So Settler, Are You a Pioneer? captures the structures of a rapidly changing peripheral neighborhood: material remains of an obsolete infrastructure, luxury apartments, and piles of bricks that once used to house people. The work re-assembles and digitally preserves sites that are often overlooked in tales of linear progress. The piece is a journey through distorted urban landscapes, an assemblage of partial perspectives. By adapting the cartographic technique of photogrammetry, Strout aims to question the authorities who decide what is and what is not in focus.
