Doug Mo (Gone Vagabonding)
Voyeur #91 (Nuit Blanche @ 03:05)
This shot took less manipulation than one might think. Just played with the curves a touch to up the brightness in the window. I also increased the colour saturation (such that there is) to add a little more punch to the light. I didn't have to do anything to ensure the negative space was pitch black -- I was shooting at three in the morning and used a fast shutter speed.
Watcher
Watcher is a multi-building video installation. Viewed on the windows of a series of houses, some of which Chen inhabited during childhood, images from her memories of growing up on D'Arcy merge with imagined stories that have occurred behind the buildings' facades over the course of the area's complex, history; fact is peppered with fiction. As viewers walk from house to house, they become implicated as voyeurs in the human compulsion to not mind our own business.
