In Datascape, the total weight per month of imported and exported goods from 2004 until 2015 is put together in the form of graphs. Data however becomes irrelevant as it makes way for dreamy abstract landscapes that occupy an entire wall. Information that bears heaviness becomes an intangible and airy topographical representation of commercial exchanges and consumption. Each A3 graph represents the weight in tons per month of a given product for a given year. Thus each horizontal series of 13 graphs illustrates the total imported and exported weight of a certain product throughout the years.
