It traces a military complex under construction, where St Louis’s cleared grounds and blacked out sites are also defined by satellites, body experiments, explosions, and emptiness. It moves through specific grounds in Los Angeles―dirt walls, hills, oil fields, gas lines, and houses in the forest―to trace how those grounds matter and how their holding intersects with maps that plan erasure, inhabitation, and extraction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eV.
