under the same sun: parksluizen
kiosk, a case study in scale 1:1 (2018)
With this work we explored the concept of thinking of
a building as a 'camera'. The work was
realised in a former kiosk building in the Parksluizen complex in Rotterdam,
designed by Bart van der Lecq. The kiosk building is now used as a project
space called Galerie Lecq. For our
exhibition, we took the opportunity to create light recordings via the
cyanotype process with the dimensions of the entire space in a scale of 1 : 1. The
kiosk is orientated towards the south, so we had sunshine all day and plenty of
time to capture how light travels through the space. We worked with multiple
and long exposures, turning the kiosk into a working camera. For each
exhibition, we rearranged the cyanotypes in a different order to think through
the temporal and spatial relations they once recorded.
