About Markus Bergström
As a PhD candidate and lecturer in design, I am interested in questions about livelihood and land use. My research explores the material conditions within land and space that affect use and disuse. It examines how materialities – such as fencing and signage – are designed to support dominant or subaltern forms of land use. Additionally, it investigates how artistic practices within public administration can uncover layers of heritage, law, and ownership to develop more equitable cultures of land use and exploitation.
