The work is aimed at a gallery audience so ideally would be shown in a gallery. I guess the final consideration to making the project is what shape that would take if it where to go ahead.
I think i would still be keen to print Digitally as editing my images using photoshop is becoming an increasingly important part of my practice. Although I am generally put off by gratuitously large prints as i think there is sometimes an attitude that simply making an image bigger makes it better, I would like to print my images as large as space/resolution would allow. There a couple of reasons for this. Having shot the project on 5x4 the level of detail the images has to offer is not always apparent when viewed smaller. More importantly is the subject matter, landscapes are inherently large and the work should reflect this. As well many of the details which would interest the viewer would become very small within the frame so to properly mediate between the subject matter and the viewer the image size should be increased to compensate for this.
In terms of the space in which the work would be ideally shown I think either a circular room or an octagonal room with a print on each wall and the last housing the door would be ideal. I did think about the possibility of having the work displayed in the center of the room so that the viewer could circle the city as i did when taking the images but felt that this might give the impression of a corridor of sorts. as well I think it would be ideal to have a circular bench in the center of the room to allow people to view the whole and consider the work with others rather than simply becoming part of a traffic system around and past the work.
