A quick poster designed this week for my moving image project Suspension (2021), via my design imprint SEED Atelier.
'Using the walkway of the Staples Corner flyover as the centre of the piece, Suspension highlights the idea of a constant, yet distant perpetuity by way of its elevated vantage points and views. Traffic moves both below and above the walkway, yet the camera is confined to the narrow, empty space in between both, with nothing to do except look on at the world. Although cars, buses and trains come and go, there’s this overall feeling of an almost hypnotic sameness, reiterated by the lack of change, yet surrounding motion, all gazed upon while being literally suspended in the air. Between the surrounding, imposing concrete structures and the lack of explicit human presence, loneliness and isolation seem at times inescapable, the recurring amber traffic light, a constant reminder of the restriction, pause and danger during a time so precarious'.
