In his body of work 'Crossings', artist Arko Datto was motivated by long-haul flights which would cross the Arabian Sea and descend into the Middle Eastern deserts. These images represent a civilization constructed by countless anonymous migrants from the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, who never got to see their spectacular collective efforts.

"Sergei Paradjanov made four of the weirdest and most beautiful movies ever seen. An ethnic Armenian, Paradjanov was born in Soviet Georgia in 1924. This film, is an Armenian-language meditation on the life of the 18th-century poet-troubadour Sayat Nova. The film consists of a series of dreamlike tableaux, designed to "recreate the poet's inner world." Sergei Paradjanov, The Color of Pomegranates, 1968 (Source: The Guardian, Youtube)

#Sergei Parajanov The Color of Pomegranates 1968

I wanted to reveal the atmosphere of a colonial legacy - its continued effect into the present day. I may be the subject of their images, posing before a newly-enabled digital culture. But in creating a series of images, I'm still performing the function of the colonial ethnographer, methodically recording the activity of 'the contemporary Indian tourist'.

Cigarette Commercials from David Lynch, the Coen Brothers and Jean Luc Godard

Even the greatest filmmakers out there sometimes need to pay the bills.

In the 1990s, Swiss tobacco company F. J. Burrus hired name brand art house directors to make commercials for their Parisienne brand of cigarettes. The company gave free rein to the filmmakers both in terms of content and approach. And the talent they managed to attract is astonishing: David Lynch, the Coen Brothers, Emir Kusturica, Roman Polanski and, most puzzlingly, Jean-Luc Godard...

The earth is the ultimate archive. It presumably contains unlimited data, waiting to be decoded. In fields such as anthropology, geography, and geology, the landscape represents the archive that carries such data. I do not think we will ever be able to decode everything, and this is why I did portraits of landscapes, as portraits of enigmatic traces of history. One day we will possess the knowledge and the means to decode information in it. Until then, we can only preserve pictures of it.
