Doug Aitken, migration (empire).
Aitken’s 2008 film, migration (empire), explores the complex relationship between the American wilderness and the sprawling built environment, asking what happens when the natural and man-made collide. Wild North American migratory animals who have taken up residence in vacant motel rooms, are shown engaging with their new environs according to their instincts
