The Bear Gallery, London
Urban Landscapes, 1st November – 1st December 2002
A digital installation that was site specific to the ‘Bear Gallery’ taking the viewer on an uncertain journey of landscapes, and blurred memories. Through animation it explores the medium of the pixel, visually representing the way in which we view our environment. The film develops the reality of the juxtaposition between two states, natural and technological, rural and urban, in the 21st century. The film was produced and directed by my self, and involved blending the images into each other using Photoshop. The images where then animated by Contrapositive in London.
