Amie Siegel will discuss "Asterisms" (2021), her recently premiered 34th São Paulo Biennial video installation with The World Around Summit's director Beatrice Galilee.

'Asterisms' explores geological and social displacement on a planetary scale through focusing on the United Arab Emirates. Gold factories, oil recovery, migrant labour, desertification, artificial islands and Arabian horses trained for show are among the connected elements that unfold in different, often overlapping, cinematic geometries projected onto a star-like shape that floats between a wall and a sculpture.

The World Around Summit is an annual, global symposium on architecture and design.
