Giselle Jones

Giselle has studied Marc Auge and his theory on the 'non-place ' versus the 'anthropological place,' and developed a theory that occasionally the two merge to create a 'third space.' She further illustrates this by merging digital (immaterial) imagery with traditional techniques such as paint (material). Non Places are areas which focus on the individual and lack inscriptions of the social bond, such as Miami Financial District or airports. The anthropological place contains inscriptions of the social bond such as communal spaces like Domino Park in Little Havana and is therefore the reverse of the anthropological place hence the inverted imagery.

Giselle also observes growing inequality in a global world where city monuments literally elevate themselves above the poverty below. Her theory is that occasionally through protest or street carnival, people change spatial rules: a road is no longer for cars but a call for collective action.
