'360˚ North 360˚ South' in On the Image

A visual re-imagining of past times through urban regeneration is utopian in principle. This utopian vision is followed through in the view ‘offered’ by the video work 360˚ North 360˚ South; it posits the viewing perspective from a private for public use glass enclosed ‘container’ that was developed as a privately funded river crossing. The private for public consumption cable car is an integral and interrelated part of the regeneration of the area below; it is a highly regulated ‘space’, controlling what we ‘view’ and from where we view it. The image through the view permeates society; it is how we experience and relate to others and the world around us.
