The Documentary of Agriculture: Gathering, addresses the state of contemporary industrial production in relation to the so-called natural world. According to Guan Xiao, agriculture or farming is similar to science fiction. The more that we think about the future, and manufacture the so-called civilized world, the farther we distance ourselves from nature, the land and ourselves. The backdrop is composed of hyperspectral image classification, a form of algorithmic imaging that allows for understanding of the terrain, often used to improve land use for farming. Guan Xiao's use of the backdrop and creation of studio photo-shoot environment as a spatial device underscores the porous nature of image production that pervades our understanding of physical reality.
