disturbative

The collective works of Altri Luoghi are disturbative and displacing: they drive--especially when confronting issues of a political and religious nature--toward desecration, toward derision, toward intrigue; they provoke contrasts, ruptures, corrosions; and they typically redirect the situation of a text used elsewhere (an "altro luogo," that is) in a detournement that draws from the physical locations of the readings.

Beyond its contexts, however, the disturbative character of Altri Luoghi's writing can also be found within, in its themes and imagery.
