this project was born from an interest in colour in context.
how one colour or a cluster of colours change in different lighting conditions, and how the same colour common to many places changes locally.
3 photos were taken from exactly the same spot, at different angles, approximately the width of vision, then i simplified the image into the colour strata. interestingly this seemed to give a rhythm and tonality that not only gave a visual code to each place but in that synesthetic way a sound tone and rhythm to the location.

film installation made for the central area of the “cities of water” pavilion at the zaragoza world expo 2008. the exhibit is all about recognizing and appreciating water within urban environments. the curators asked that if humanity embraced water and integrated it into our city planning, how might our lives be different. The brief here was to imagine an abstract urban environment from Water itself.
The pavilion itself utilizes mirror and water surfaces to reflect and expand the film content.
