Who owns the land?

Abstract

My research focuses on the politics of power and its symbolic and active enactment –aesthetic, spatial, social, economic. For this presentation I will concentrate on recent works I have made on land ownership, drawing a direct link between private landed rural estates and the scarcity, and subsequent overpricing of commercial value of urban property, and designated governmental urban views which expose the socio-political and ideological construction and operation of urbanism and regeneration, and its shaping of the relationship of citizens societally and to public space.
