Enfolded Light

Direcktorenhaus &  SIEBZEHN, Berlin, November, 2013

 Holograms of urban adventures and architectural encounters. These holographic works are a form of urban narrative – compositions of multiple perspectives and intertwined dynamics. Using hundreds of photographs these scenes are structured by emotive and imaginative forces. Moving around to reveal each scene resonates with the poetics of the experience captured. The two simultaneous exhibitions of ‘Enfolded Light’ present over 40 holographic works spanning the first nine years of my installation practice.
