Aurélie Crisetig/ Book Edition

Aurélie Crisetig is a photographer, curator, and art historian based in London. Her work focuses on documenting space, particularly empty urban environments. She captures deserted streets and transitional landscapes where absence suggests human presence. Working with both film and digital photography, she examines the relationship between memory and its visual representation in an era shaped by digital imagery. Her interest in memorabilia extends this exploration to the objects and traces that connect personal and collective histories. By bringing together space, absence, and material memory, her practice reflects on time, perception, and the narratives embedded within the urban environment.

‘(dis)locations’ examines the transformation of natural environments through the lens of digital topography. By collecting and merging multiple satellite renderings captured over time, each image constructs an unstable landscape where seasons, climates, and geographies collapse into one another. These fragmented views reveal an alternate reality, one shaped by both technological mediation and environmental disruption. Emerging from glitches and distortions in digital mapping systems, the series exposes the tension between human perception and machine vision, between documentation and manipulation. The traces left by these digital processes echo the marks of human intervention on the planet itself. In ‘(dis)locations’, the landscape becomes both subject and evidence, a terrain of loss and transformation that reflects the accelerating impact of global warming. Through this convergence of art, technology, and ecology, the work questions how we see, archive, and reconstruct the natural world in an era defined by environmental instability.
