"Tracking the Subject is a research-based audiovisual installation and text publication that aims to create a subjective counter narrative on the subject of the so called “European migrant crisis”. Current political and media discourses consist mainly of anecdotal facts, statistical data and constructed threats which at once victimize and alienate the refugee. Both perspectives result in a dehumanization of the depicted subject. This work enables the spectator to experience the undocumented ‘illegal’ transit-zone that exists between the origin of the migrant and the “Fortress Europe”.

The installation consists of both naturalistic and abstract images, accompanied by a multi-channel mix and composition realised by sound artist Adam Asnan. Using projection mapping (spatial augmented reality) the imagery is projected as a 360° panorama onto the surface of a circular sculptural screen. The work serves as a simulation of the perspective of a refugee travelling across state borders."

The additional recordings contributed to Archive.org are an assortment of those that were captured on location but not used in the final work, as well as two recordings made during the progress of installing the work (and aspects of the soundtrack) inside the Black Box, for it's opening at CubaCultur in Münster, for 06-01-17.
