Quick / Slow
This work discusses the city as a medium of space we transition through
and inhabit as part of the everyday, a complex and full urban interior that is
simultaneously a banal and fantastical experience. Far from a fixed condition
this urban interior is constantly in a process of production, assembled and
affected by the built environment, objects, information, media and personal
interactions that we encounter.
This understanding of the urban emerges from a series of built works
including models, film and public interventions that are part of an ongoing
research enquiry into the production of interiors through the use of scenic
strategies.
The work examines the production of interiors that is brought about through an engagement by the occupant with implied narratives and urban settings. These spatial scenarios are manifest via the layering and arrangement of scenic devices, including constructed sets, props, and images located in or drawn from the city. Suspension of disbelief and an acceptance of the ‘unreal’ is often a necessary participatory condition in this work. The assembly of fragments, a mise-en scène of objects and actions intentionally seeks to activate the role of the participant as author of their own performative experience. This interior simultaneously becomes both real and fictional, a mediator between the self and others.
