BLUE IS THE COLOUR OF THE SCREEN WHEN IT IS UNABLE TO TRANSMIT INFORMATION; IT IS A MISCOMMUNICATION, AN ERROR REPORT, A SIMULATION OR SUBSTITUTION. IT IS THE PRINT OF FUTURE PLANNING YET IT IS ALSO FAILURE, ALREADY REDUNDANT. THE COLOUR BLUE IS CORRUPTED, DUPLICITOUS, AND HOUSES A DUAL SPACE; IT IS THE COLOUR OF ALLEGORY. ‘RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS’ REFERS TO THIS PARADOXICAL READING OF BLUE, WHERE THE URBAN LANDSCAPE HAS BEEN DISMEMBERED, WHILST AT THE SAME TIME HAS GONE THROUGH A PROCESS OF CAREFUL RECONSTRUCTION. IT EXPLORES THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE PAST AND THE PRESENT TO IMAGINE FUTURE POTENTIALITIES, EXPLORING DYSTOPIAN VISIONS THROUGH ENGAGING IN THE COMPLEXITY OF RESTORATION, LONGING, AND HOMESICKNESS. THE UNATTAINABILITY OF THE PAST IS ENGULFED BY THE MATERIALITY OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE RUIN, WHERE HUMAN INTERVENTION APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN REABSORBED INTO THE LANDSCAPE. THIS WORK STANDS FOR BOTH PROGRESSION AND ERROR, AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURAL TEMPORALITY.

Themes of allegory, mourning, and loss are at the centre of the work, which uses the transitional urban landscape and obsolete technologies as a backdrop. Photographs refer to a forgotten industry; industrial relics which become urban follies, lying precariously between construction and deconstruction, archaic and futuristic. The notion of allegory appears where it lays beyond the realms of the political, existing also as a platform for mourning. Through adopting the use of a monotone blue, they can be read paradoxically; representations of the city have been dismembered whilst at the same time have been carefully reconstructed, enabling a connection with an otherwise unobtainable past. This work engages with the allegorical impulse of the photograph; the portal which is provided by the medium. Photographic and installational works explore the interplay between the past and the present to imagine future potentialities, exploring dystopian visions through engaging in the complexity of restoration, longing, and homesickness. The unattainability of the past is engulfed by the materiality of the structure of the ruin, where human intervention appears to have been reabsorbed into the landscape. It stands for both progression and error, and its relationship with natural temporality. The material language of regeneration is used to question this progression, in order to highlight the structure of future ruins.
