| Real state is the first publication by artist Asta Meldal Lynge. A visual essay with text by Eleanor Ivory Weber, that takes a critical stance towards the subjects of housing, urban development and image production. Employing video-stills, photographs and found images, Lynge explores the social and political value of the image and emphasises the fictions present in the (re)production of space. In particular, Real state investigates the ramifications of architectural renderings within the public sphere, documenting building site hoardings, symbolic points at the threshold of construction, where a yet-to-exist everyday and a predicted image of the city meets the real one. Processing this documentation through layering, editing and retouching, Lynge highlights (and challenges) both the intensifying tendency of â image-buildingâ or the production of buildings as icons and the subsequent transformation of public space into an infinite extension of image surfaces. |
