The video Merchants Freely Enter explores new technologies to capture images and their impact on sight, representation and control on western landscape and nature. The picture and sound collage navigates through a world of an arcane imagination (costumes and masks), archaic appropriation (agriculture) and digital empowerment (drone mounted cameras). Similar to a visual archaeology of the future- the film calibrates the sight into an ongoing interplay between attraction and rejection.
