Thresholds

Twelve months of photographing the moment a space stops being one room and becomes another.

A threshold is the only part of a building that belongs to neither side of it. It is also, consistently, the part that architects design last and photographers shoot first.

This study collects openings, gaps, reveals and passages — and looks at what happens when a single red plane is placed inside one. The red does not decorate the opening. It measures it.

A shaft of light crossing a concrete corner, a dry stem in the gap and a red seam along the floor.

A narrow slot between two concrete walls, a red line running away along the floor.

A concrete passage with daylight falling across the wall, a single red flower standing in the room beyond.

A tree casting its shadow across a concrete terrace, a red disc set into the wall below it.

A concrete wall opening onto a pale sea horizon, a red seam tracing the floor towards it.

A concrete pier running out over the sea at dusk, a red line down its length and a lone figure at the end.
