 »Unknown Fields: Tales from the Dark Side of the City«

Kate Davies is a visual artist and architect. She is founding director of Unknown Fields, a nomadic design studio she leads together with Liam Young. Over the last 15 years, Kate and Liam have run expeditions to remote parts of the globe – behind the scenes of the modern city - to document the infrastructural landscapes that manifest as direct and indirect consequences of urban environments. Kate will talk about the work of Unknown Fields, exploring the interwoven complexity of these territories, as dynamic flows of matter and narrative.
