These ‘encounters’ were produced using projectors, housed inside the building, which back projected fragments of film onto special projection material behind the windows, which became, in effect, giant TV screens. This project appropriated existing film footage, manipulating, editing and displaying it in ways that removed it from it’s usual context.
Along with the work of Wildscreen/Arkive, the project aimed to highlight the fragility of the species featured. The briefness of the moving images implicitly suggested their vulnerability and a sense of time running out… the fleeting presence of an animal that disappeared in the blink of the eye.
