Unequal Scenes uses a drone to illustrate inequality across the world through photography. The scars within our urban fabric, so apparent from above, can provoke a sense of surprise…But also reveal our complicity in systematic disenfranchisement.
We live within neighborhoods and participate in economies that reinforce inequality. We habituate ourselves with routines and take for granted the built environment of our cities. The tin shacks and dilapidated buildings are hemmed into neat rows, bounded by the fences, roads, and parks of the wealthiest few.
It’s the very scale and unerring regularity across geographic regions which points to the systemic nature of inequality. This is not organic – this is planned and intentional disenfranchisement.
