Exhibition

Geomatics: Land, Law, Ore

Jeannette Unite

About this programme item

Jeannette Unite's solo exhibition, Geomatics: Land, Law, Ore is a chapter within the framework of PLOT, an ongoing exhibition and forthcoming book that has been shown in biennales, museums, and university galleries on four continents. Drawing upon aerial surveillance archives, Unite’s current solo at the AVA features a series of striking vertically oriented artworks, each standing at human height and arranged in a configuration reminiscent of a barcode.

These Earth Seams, or GEO SEAMs, visually echo the intersecting lines of longitude and latitude and question the mineral origins of all consumer goods. Unite’s work questions humanity's role in the construction of modernity, where we can “divide and distribute, own and exploit, in this age of acceleration, and techno-spasm of capitalism and inequality.”
