Augmented reality mountain
2024
Limited edition digital print with QR code activated augmented reality overlay
Edition: 5 prints
Size: 42 x 59 cm

Description:
A meditation on geological time as expressed through the documentation of the changing weather on a mountain.

The QR code assisted augmented reality enhancement of the image reveals different stages of its production, as well as the subject matter as it appears at different times of day.

The work also invites the viewer to reflect on how we perceive the environments and spaces we occupy: what layers of meaning and understanding we bring to each experience.
