Summary:
Gathering contributions from artists, writers and theorists, Fieldwork for Future Ecologies addresses the role that art and art-based research plays in expanding notions of fieldwork. At once a research handbook and a philosophical speculation, it explores ways of working within diverse climates using image, sound, movement and other sensing technologies, and also offers more creative interventions into the idea of "the field" itself. Focusing on projects from various geographic locations and situations, the book highlights the crucial contribution that art can make to environmental and climate studies.

Summary:
Haraji's travels as a professional photographer across Iran meant that he invariably had to ring a doorbell, sound a knocker, or pass through a hotel entrance to take up his accommodation for an evening.

The fruits of his investigation are presented in this photographic essay which depicts approximately 100 doors, or elements thereof – each characteristic of the proprietor's poverty or opulence, some plain and simple, others decorated with exquisite motifs and designs.
