Windows Through Walls

This project proposes an unconventional way of viewing photography in a gallery space by achieving visual and spatial transparency, allowing the viewer to experience photography through a collage of views through calculated staging. Views of the work and the space where they are housed are staged by tailoring the placement of walls and openings to the human field of vision, providing unobstructed views. The viewing cone is used as a tool to generate placement of walls and openings through them, creating a porous quality that connects physical space and time visually. Strategies of framing views allows the gallery to not only be a space for displaying and seeing, but also capturing—the gallery starts to become a mechanism for creating photography.

Instead of experiencing galleries in a sequence of clusters housed in individual rooms, the project sporadically disperses what is viewed in the confines of its space. Within a chaotic explosion of gallery walls are embedded moments of optimal viewing, tailored to the human field of vision, allowing one to simultaneously see several works of photography from multiple distances at multiple scales.
