Di Stefano presents 2 unpublished video works, created from photographs from his travels and centered on the themes of globalization and cultural capitalism. The first video is set at the Dong Xuan Center, known as the “Vietnamese shopping centre” in Berlin- a cultural, social and economic collision point between East and West. The second, however, is set in French Guyana, between Cayenne and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni- a place of meeting and resistance for diverse ethnic groups.
