manipulating reality

KA. It's increasingly become apparent that creating Liminopia is impacted and influenced by its greater environment, namely the studio in which it resides. These images are attempts to alleviate those outward distractions, in order to play with and explore ideas that are at the moment, only visible in the imagination. A bit of photographic intervention has been used to create an illusion of 'sky', giving forth the possibility of Liminopia being an actual environment in and of itself. While manufactured and manipulated, it's interesting to see and consider how these photographic interventions can open up new ideas and create different contexts.

SS. The current work in progress on Liminopia has sites of development which are gradually creating further developments radiating out from the initial buildings into larger sites of urban activity. Gaps are filling in and the landscape is being covered, however some areas are already creating zones at which the adjacent areas are difficult to build on. One of the major areas at which this condition exists is the industrial zone with a factory and its associated toxic environment. Although one of the early developments the adjacent land remains unused and it might be suggested that our usual discomfort at being near such developments in the real urban world is being replicated in our imagined world of Liminopia. In what is a our own controlled world of Liminopia why do we still replicate these sites of alienation and how might we respond to mediate this area and how might this process in Liminopia be tranferred to ideas responding positively to the redevelopment and re-engagement of such zones in our own real city of London?
