Blacked Out was a group show in London which showcased the work of artists using light. This latest development of multimedia installation explored relationships with city spaces, especially focussing on issues relating to public ownership. Viewers were invited to explore their physical relationship to the space by interrupting the installations flickering projection and discovering how the intensity of their shadow on the light sensor changed the projected image. In so doing, visitors were asked to reflect upon the dialogue between the images; cityscapes, buildings, signs, statements and the impositions and implications that these affect upon their relationship with the urban environment.

As part of This Belongs To, laser cut cards were available at the opening event for visitors to use as tools to interact with the projection, using the qualities of light and shadow to claim the images, space and work as their own. The cards were then free to be taken for use beyond the gallery. Responses can be viewed here.
