HERE MANY WORLDS COLLIDE

Uncovering traces of polluted air, light, and the microscopic world, this piece makes enquires into what a 21st century glass plate records.

​

This piece was exposed in central London, in a building marked for multi-million pound re-development. This building had been taken over by artists as temporary studios during 2020-21. It was made during the pandemic, as central London's streets slowed, and the non-human world made itself visible to us. It sits at the centre of social, economic and microbial worlds which were thrown wildly out of balance.

​

The photographic image binds to the glass plate using agar. This replaces traditional uses of bovine gelatin in typical photographic emulsions.  ​

Exhibited as part of WHAT ON EARTH, Koppel Projects, Piccadilly, 2021.
