Voir

‘Voir’ materialises a curiosity around partial views, fleeting glimpses, and limits of perception. These objects play with the idea of the small ways in which we try to know each other – the strangers who move about our days alongside us. As miniature screens, they are the product of experimentation with holes and openings and with solidity, light, and shadow.

“To live in a city is to live in a community of people who are strangers to each other. You have to act on hints and fancies, for all that the mobile and cellular nature of city life will allow you. You expose yourself in, and are exposed to others fragments, isolated signals, bare disconnected gestures, jungle cries and whispers that resist all your attempts to unravel their meaning, their consistency.”

Jonathan Raban, “Soft City”,
