Windows of the World
ROOM / MOVING IMAGE / WALKING
The room edits what cannot be held in one frame.
Recordings made in different places meet on furniture, walls and objects found at each site. A face bends across cardboard; an ordinary action grows to the size of a wall. Moving through the room brings one scene into view while another continues behind us.
A small gesture takes the wall
We edit the footage and build the projection surfaces anew for each venue. Materials, architecture and the paths through the room change which images meet. The archive includes recordings we have made and contributions shared from elsewhere.
The fold moves through the face
Someone waits. The loop returns
The image behind you keeps going

Each site produces another version of the work. First presented in 2020, Windows of the World is ongoing. Each venue recomposes the space using locally sourced materials and re-edits the videos for its architecture. The growing archive includes footage contributed by people around the world, credited by name in collective acknowledgments.
Installation / Materials / Inquiries
- Materials
- Moving images from different times and locations, projected onto found materials and improvised architectures — boxes, furniture, walls, cardboard and architectural leftovers.
- Installation
- An ongoing installation, first presented in 2020. Configurations use 8–20 projections, with cycles of approximately 15–25 minutes, predominantly silent. Videos are re-edited and local materials assembled for each venue; projection equipment and installation requirements are agreed with the studio.
- Time Base Moments
- Time Base Moments brings nine silent film loops into separate screens. Each keeps its own duration; the alignments change as one gesture returns beside another. The films are drawn from the Windows of the World archive and edited to work alongside one another. 2020. Nine LCD screens in wooden housings, each approximately 40 × 30 × 10 cm, with loops of different lengths. Configurations and housings can be developed for a specific presentation.
- Inquiries
- Send us the work title and the exhibition context. We can discuss configuration and technical requirements with you. Discuss Windows of the World
