WindowSwap
The series WindowSwap (2021–2025) was born during lockdown when a website appeared online showcasing footage filmed through people’s windows, creating a simulacrum of our spatiotemporal environment. Windows have traditionally held significance as mediators between two worlds, thus at this unprecedented time, I spent hours watching these videos as a form of virtual escapism, in lieu of real landscapes. I took screenshots (cameraless photographs) of archetypal scenes of nature, as a record and meta meditation on the global experience of time, self, and space displaced amongst layers of digital screen-based mediation.
