INDEPENDENT VISUAL STUDIO / A FICTIONAL WORLD

Nothing
is ordinary.

REFRACTING REALITY…

Change the angle.
Change what you see.

IMAGE / MATERIAL / MOTIONENTER THE STUDIES ↓DRAG THE LIGHT WITH YOUR CURSOR
01 / A WAY OF LOOKING

We work at the edge
of the familiar.

The ordinary is full of things we’ve stopped seeing. A surface. A shadow. A moment between two frames.

The Substance is a fictional visual studio exploring what happens when image, material and motion meet. An experiment in looking again.

02 / SELECTED STUDIESMOVE SLOWLY. LOOK CLOSER.
A photographic study in texture and light01

Between
two states.

IMAGE STUDY / 001

A familiar surface becomes something else when the context changes. Light is the material. Perception is the subject.

Architectural forms and repeating patterns02

Order.
Interrupted.

STRUCTURE STUDY / 002

Repetition gives us a rule. The interruption gives us a reason to keep looking. An exploration of space and rhythm.

Atmospheric landscape in an image study03

The space
between.

ATMOSPHERE STUDY / 003

Not everything needs to be explained. Some things need enough space to be felt. A study in colour, depth and distance.

03 / THE MATERIAL LAB

One object.
Another reality.
