Spatial Drifts
Leeds Art Gallery, Leeds (UK), 2021

Spatial Drifts extended the Central Court architecture, recorded and reconfigured to form new parallel experiences of the gallery as sculpture, moving image, and performance.

In 2017, while Leeds Art Gallery was in transition and closed for renovation, fragments of the building's changing fabric at different stages of uncovering the Central Court gallery were recorded using a series of multimedia tools and systems. The re-situated works in the Central Court at Leeds Art Gallery formed new connections between past, present and possible future versions of the space.
