Information:
The spaces photographed are dormant and are held in tension between one use and a new, future use. Evidence of former occupations remain, but also traces of present occupation, an appropriation of the space by birds and plants.
The spaces, both internal and external, are not derelict and have a future use outlined for them. Most were photographed just before the moment of change and redevelopment, when they were transformed to meet new needs.
The venue in which the work is displayed was also a dormant space, and has been made into a temporary gallery by The Art Organisation. This group are dedicated to utilising empty buildings within cites.
The work is accompanied by a specially commissioned piece by Kumo, an international sound artist, and is a response to the half heard sounds that occur within the spaces.
