Project Rooms

Bringing in observations from my own experiences of different spaces (both urban and seemingly untouched) and looking at how transformation through time, memory, and physical alterations occur, this installation became a way for me to question the impact of these alterations on our perception of the real and the man-made. 

​

We strive to not only alter what is around us physically but also by recreating and representing it in a way that allows even more manipulation and control. My travels to spaces untouched brought me to address the stark difference between the two and allowed me to understand gradually the difference in environments that are ‘real’ (in the true/ideal or utopian sense of the word) and manipulated, virtual or simulated. Bringing both these contradictory worlds together in the project room, I hoped to understand how someone views them both, and how that view changes. The window became a representation of a simulated reality, where the viewer looked out of a ‘fake’ window, leading to an image that was actually not real, also then creating a relationship between the indoor and the outdoor. Continuing this thought, large images of vast landscapes were brought into the room, taking off from a wallpaper like aesthetic.
