The landscape to which this belongs
Three-channel video installation, HD 11min. looped with sound, 2013
Two modernist
pieces of architecture in northwest London (The Alexandra & Ainsworth Estate and Trellick Tower) were the
departure point of this project. Through the process of time, the buildings’ surfaces have visibly changed, as
have their spatial and social contexts. And in between these sites, a heterogeneous urban landscape unfolds
and new building sites are announced on billboards. The question of the landscape to which these buildings
belong does not only refer to the spatial and social developments of the city but also to the artistic process of
appropriating and re-imagining. Through the orchestration of the videos in the exhibition space, new
ways of looking at these sites are proposed.

In the play with the panoramic view and the close up, the whole and the fragment, there is no certainty regarding the spatial and historical continuity of place. Only through the persistance of the camera’s fixed frames and through the act of observing, the narrative potential and formal qualities of place and image can be explored from a present moment.
