BUREAU OF OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPES
Information

The Bureau of Operational Landscapes examines sites that shape our lives but remain overlooked: places like ports, extraction zones, and agro-industrial complexes. Using landscape photography as its starting point, The Bureau initiates overlooks, tours, and site-specific encounters to engage the public with operational spaces. 

Our mission is to assist the public to read the land and expand its narratives, intervening in the official story. The Bureau invites a closer relationship to the infrastructures that surrounds us, revealing their impact on our environment and daily lives.
