“What happens after acts of relocation and displacement? How do these acts influence our personal lives, our mental states, or our cultural perceptions? These questions are relevant in the context of “local-versus-global” intellectual discourse, but they are much more significant in our everyday lives, in which we constantly seek greater mobility. Individuals and groups are relocating themselves geographically. Objects are displaced locally, data and information transferred digitally, and points of view refocused intellectually. How do these acts rearrange a situation, a narrative or an ethos? What happens to these material and immaterial things within their new contexts? How does it shift our illusions about the permanence of things? And most importantly, can we displace our focus without losses?”
