Composed of photographs taken in a variety of cities, Swedish photographer Mårten Lange’s “The Mechanism” tells a scifi story about contemporary life concerning technology, surveillance and urban society.

“Lange attempts to trace the effects of technological developments on human experiences, using architectural tropes to build a narrative loaded with the threats and promises of the future. Cutting back and forth between close-up views and cityscapes, The Mechanism offers a filmic sequence of photographs that is at once affective and estranging.”
