vital organs (DVD - 27'11)

This photo-phonographic work combines the unnoticed but ever-present sounds and images that map out contemporary urban space. It is an aesthetic study of the resources - mechanised circulation (pump and fan) and regulation (filtration, heating and cooling) of air and water - needed to support large numbers of humans within shared accommodation across sustained periods of time.

Matthew Sansom, 2006
