  The Institute of Incoherent Geography is a photograph that shows a girl on the moon with binoculars.It serves as a pseudo introductory homeage, company icon, viewpoint/anchoring image. It anchors the viewpoint of most of the work, in a place that is not in our present time or place. Most of the work is looking at our present from a future ficitonal place, showing our present in it's past. The ideas in the work are mixed, contradictory and often deplete each other - reflecting how life really is perhaps, with no one truth.It also implies a certain distance (binoculars - moon), which is a necessary ingredient for true reflection on events and for introspection, both in time and space.
