The Window Gallery is located at the Sointula Art Shed - an old work shed (with a fishing net mending loft) that is now an art space in a residential street in the small village of T̓łat̓ła̱sk̓udis Sointula in the north island region - the Kwakwaka'wakw Territories - in British Columbia, Canada. This work was developed while on residency during August 2024.
An instant photograph was filmed for the duration of its development, on the ground, in the location where the photograph was taken. The site in this instance was just to the left of the window gallery, in the garden that surrounds The Sointula Art Shed.
Through the work's duration the images presented are complicated by their materiality and incidence of that moment in time: the movement of wind and insects; the roar of a car passing and voices of others working nearby; and my own shifting behind the camera.
