John Dunkley-Smith
This work employs a system of ‘naturally occurring’ masks. The view of a street-scape is obscured by trains passing by on four parallel tracks-camera is run when train is passing. Train windows, doors, gaps, between cars, variously reveal or frame the ‘action’ taking place.

A process of gradual revelation - while it is not a measured and sequential revelation, the viewer must collect and correlate fragments of visual information - initially the "view" is restricted by the limitations of the camera lens and its angle of acceptance and then the application of the mask systems re-orders and further restricts it.
