Places
PLACES by elementWo focuses on the power of ISIS’ images and visual communication, as well as on the violence of these images and their ability to tell the truth.
So far, ISIS has communicated with the outer world and especially with the West mainly through images and videos shared on social media. The killings were real but many backgrounds were, at least partially, staged. ISIS has become Western countries’ public enemy no. 1 and is perceived to be at the gates or their civilization. Yet, the majority of westerners know nothing about it except for the bizarre mix of fiction and reality that ISIS wants them to see and be afraid of. The power of this fiction is enhanced by modern technologies, deeply influencing our reality of life. The series aims to visually narrate this violence without showing it.
