Art & Theory Publishing · 2022 · Softcover

Drone Vision: Warfare, Surveillance, Protest gathers artists, curators, and scholars around one premise. The drone's eye has reorganized who gets to see and who is seen. That asymmetry now runs through war, protest, and daily life alike.

The book is the outcome of a two-year research project led by HDK-Valand, University of Gothenburg, with the Hasselblad Foundation. It is built around a triptych of exhibitions staged in Gothenburg, Nicosia, and Lahore. Commissioned artists Ignacio Acosta, Behjat Omer Abdulla, and Mhairi Sutherland respond to drone use in specific settings. Among them: Sami resistance to mining exploration in northern Sweden, and aerial bombing recounted by a Syrian refugee. Across 352 pages, essays and artist projects trace how verticality and visibility play out differently in Sweden, Cyprus, and Pakistan.

Sarah Tuck, a curator and researcher at Valand Academy, directed the research project. She co-edited the volume with Louise Wolthers of the Hasselblad Foundation. Contributors include Kathrin Maurer, Imran Qureshi, Wajahat Saeed, Daniel Jewesbury, and Markus Miessen, with design by Karl Stefan Andersson.
