A hologram emerged in the physical realm. The Reservoir (Abberton) renders the post-industrial sublime, a neglected and isolated site, a liminal space forever unfinished. Its bareness along with the powerful feeling of self-awareness makes of this ruin an evocative platforms for art intervention.

 

The hologram reminds us the finite character of life, yet the enduring power of data. It seems like a ghost, virtual debris that has transcended to the physical world to dwell in these abandoned sites, contradictorily fleeting and everlasting.
