"When the city sleeps"
Louise Crawford & Stéphan Guéneau |
| |
We like to build
up a relationship with the city we live in and over the years
we have been trying to renew the experience of looking at common
places or what would be considered insignificant: a car park,
a tunnel, an empty street, a crossroads.
We started with presence, with what was there; architecture,
buildings then gradually our focus shifted from what was there
to what was not there, from presence to absence, from positive
space to negative space.
Whether facades, car parks or offices lit at night or streets
lit by broken publicity panels, whether the picture plane is
filled with presence or absence, the potential for narrative
is always there, perhaps suspended, but an urban archeology
in real time will always reveal stories of the city creating
a 'fictional elsewhere'.
