- This 60,000-word monograph examines art’s role in colonisation and subsequent dissolution in practice and theory, examining ideas of disappearance from Baudrillard and Virilio, using strands of Baudrillard’s fatal strategies and "raw" phenomenology often overlooked in examinations of his work. Many sources of material were translated into English or pulled from lesser-known lectures and seminars to be focused on for the first time, including their final and most contemporary works. The monograph investigates complex theories applied in new ways within the context of place/space and art practice, offering insight into the work of Robert Smithson and other artists through this lens.
