Temporal Fluidity is a site-specific installation that challenges traditional notions of photographic authorship. Instead, it proposes ‘nature’ as both subject and artist.

The installation is situated on Parkland Walk, a 5-kilometre stretch of disused railway line in North London. Since its renovation in 1984, the site has been used as a community space for runners, cyclists, coffee drinkers, commuters, graffiti artists, and wildlife. It is a space that is constantly changing, exposed to weather and seasonal cycles, as well as the flow of passersby. Its atmosphere varies every day.

Using biodegradable, spray-painted sheets suspended across the pathway, Temporal Fluidity reflects on the cycles of decay, renewal, and transformation inherent across both the natural world and urban environments, or in the case of Parkland Walk, where those two intersect.

The installation is constructed in situ using site materials and, over time, is destroyed by the conditions of its environment, ultimately left to be engulfed by itself. The installation sets the stage for nature to decide its fate whilst exploring the delicate interplay of the natural world, time, and human impact. Temporal Fluidity interrogates the materiality of photography and its ecological impact while offering a tactile, immersive experience of the site. This work repositions photography as an ecological and temporal act, inviting viewers to reflect on cycles of extraction, renewal, and decay embedded in landscapes and media.
