Nowhere is this more visible recently than in China and areas under China's developmental influence. For example, Chinese investments in Africa are heterotopias because they contain the idea of accumulating different times, cultures, and countries within one place, just as a theme park contains all these different place experiences in a bounded zone outside of its own time and culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ella Raidel has explored these phenomena through film and cinematic virtual reality. In her films urbanism and architecture, theory, politics, social change, and image production are intertextually presented, and open a discursive space for investigation and commentary. In this artist's book, she reviews and reflects on the last two decades of her award-winning work. \u003ci\u003eOf Haunted Spaces\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to art and film practitioners, as well as students of architecture, film, urbanization, and infrastructure, especially those who see cinema as a way of exploring these subjects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ella Raidel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811858934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811858932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National University of Singapore Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Ella Raidel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717434142975,"sku":"9789811858932","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8facf78-2811-4389-b75d-323cbc184645.jpg?v=1705688220","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/of-haunted-spaces-ella-raidel-9789811858932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
