The Plaszow Labour Camp and adjoining areas were analyzed by conducting three walks within the site that roughly conformed to a grid. The topography and vegetation made certain areas inaccessible, which meant that the imposed, intented grid was altered to an actual, achieved grid.
This process of movement around the site in response to terrain was recorded via serial vision photography that was made into a video, which shows movement across the site at a pace that alters with altering site conditions
The project explores the utility of irony as a tool for bringing out multiple characteristics of an existing landscape. Through excavation , reconfiguration and intervention, the proposal attempts to create a diversified landscape where discrete, sometimes contradictory programs exist adjacent to each other and create a landscape that is fragmented in a manner that brings out its rich, complicated history.
