Terra Nullius

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, 2017

Exhibited at Viborg KunsthalFOMU Antwerp and Kunstfort 

Terra nullius is a Latin expression derived from Roman Law describing “land that belongs to nobody”. In principle it describes territory that may be unoccupied or uninhabited and therefore may be acquired through occupation. 
  
Terra Nullius consists of twenty-four empty war landscapes. Each image is a digital montage made entirely of screenshots from a specific war movie ranging from Sergei Eistenstein's Battleship Potemkin (1925), to David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia (1962) and Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker (2008). 

Terra Nullius is generously supported by The Danish Arts Foundation and Grosserer L. F. Foght's Foundation.
