Fountain Sequence

Fountain Sequence was produced between September - November 2016, when I was invited by Index Collective to undertake a two-month residency programme in Zürich, Switzerland. Fountain Sequence links my urban exploration of the city's fountains with an online-specific condition. I began by mapping out some of the Zürich’s drinking water fountains and the social interactions found around them.

Through a series of GIF files, the momentary encounters that occurred around these sculptural public structures was captured once I arrived at each specific location. Equally, through audio field recordings, I documented the sound of the environment at the particular time that I arrived. The GIF-animated files were constructed through shooting multiple sequences of photographs from each encounter. Thanks to Index Collective for their support with the residency: Ulrike Ulrich, Blas Ulibarri, Melanie Katz, and Isabelle Capron.
