Klenz is interested in the critical exploration of displacement and the collapse of a sense of rootedness regarding the notion of place.Being shoot in Greater Manchester area, she discovered entire estates of empty terraced houses that have been boarded-up. These estates are beginning to wear what can be perceived as the scars of a national trend in the North-West regions of England. The exodus of residents has culminated in the value of the properties decreasing to a minimal amount, now worth a fraction of their purchase price. Unable to sell their homes, some inhabitants are forced to remain in this area – a community’s remnants subjected to a downward spiral of social exclusion.
