The Native Land Stop Eject exhibition has been on since the 5th of December 2009. It runs through till the 21st of February 2010 and has been created by the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain. This two part exhibition focuses on the effects of climate change and globalisation. It specifically looks at dynamics of global human migrations and nomadism. ‘Hear them Speak’ is a film by Raymond Depardon presented as a large video projection capturing those on the brink of exile from their homelands. ‘Exit’ is an installation presenting those who have been uprooted. This installation is a collaboration between artists architects Diller Scofidio +Renfro, Hansen and Kurgan with philosopher Paul Verilio and captures the latter’s theories of speed, acceleration and the development of the ultra city while examining human movement due to socio-political, economic and environmental factors. Unesco has partnered on this project that is showing at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, Denmark.
