Installation comprising two videos and four A3 prints (29.7 × 42 cm).

window begins with footage of a council estate in London. A window is selected and isolated through a sequence of video edits; stills from the edited footage are then enlarged and processed to generate four pixelated images. The work examines how a change in visual emphasis changes the relationship between a detail and its surroundings.

Four pixel images

Four generated images of the selected window, each intended as a 29.7 × 42 cm print.

Video

2. Overlay pink onto a randomly selected window.
3. Reverse the selection, applying pink to the surroundings while leaving that window visible.
4. Extract a still from the edited footage, then enlarge and process it in Photoshop to produce the pixel images.
