Territories of Extraction explores how systems of control — architectural, territorial, and symbolic - shape landscapes and natural environments. Through installations and a live performance activating sculptural structures in space, extraction is approached not only as a material process, but also as a political and cultural condition.


Performance Description:
Transplanting Shade Scape Shape is a performative installation exploring how nature and human bodies are shaped through system of care and control. Managed by MA42 (Wiener Stadtgärten – Parks and Gardens), trees in cities, are selected, numbered, monitored, pruned, transplanted, and maintained within architectural and political structures. Their growth is permitted only within assigned territories.

This condition parallels the visa system managed by MA35 (Immigration and Citizenship), where foreign bodies are documented, regulated, and required to justify their presence.
