Carl Diehl / Landscape Anarchitecture Series

Acid Rain Production presents, Carl Diehl / Landscape Anarchitecture Series. The Landscape Anarchitecture Series contemplates the loss of one's “sense of place” in relation to the increasing presence of mobile phones, mobile screens, and virtual worlds that conflict with one's perception of their immediate reality. In this model, video sequences of suburban vistas are recast as sites, and sights, of psychological duress. Extensive digital de-composition was employed to break apart image sequences of mundane backyards and neighborhoods into discrete fragments. Once separated, individual components were manipulated at frame-level and then realigned in accordance with their original spatial integrity. Temporally, the sequences of elements were intentionally desynchronized, quietly dislocated from their grounding in a singular sense of “here”, and “now”.
