Baraka shows the many different networks of human society, showing the interrelationships of globalised and localised societies. The film presents realities of globalisation and how they are present within the networked societies of the world. The film successfully composes a visual representation of the many socio-environmental settings of the globe, intertwined in this visual representation is a demonstration of the presence of globalisation as a structural force in underpinning cultural production and action.
Andreas Gursky
Andreas gursky tackles issues of globalisation in his work by using large scale photographs to show the effects. This image shows the effect of financial globalistion, Gursky is warning the viewer. The photographs are displayed large, shot on large plate film, the viewer is engaged in the huge photograph, with the use of a long depth of field the attention to detail is stunning. The over scaled size of the photographs when displayed shows how people are just a small part of the vast landscape we live in.
