Urban Nomadism - The City as a Space of Exclusion
Matthew Ho, MArch (Year: 5)
URBAN NOMADISM- THE CITY AS A SPACE OF EXCLUSION
Through the documentation of the life of an asylum seeker on the streets of London for a period of four months, the project investigates the spatial, institutional, and sociopolitical role that cities play in becoming a space of exclusion for marginalised people.
DREAMERS
There is a contradiction between the image, of Venice versus reality that materialises through the eye of the tourist. The result of this discrepancy, between preconceived perception and the palpable reality, is a place that is rife of exploitation for those less fortunate; migrants and refugees gravitate towards Venice in order to take part in the production of the over-romanticized image of the city. The film is an insight into the lives of these people, to bring light to the institutional and sociopolitical issues that surround their lives; in a place where their hopes are stuck in the limbo of lost dreams.
