This is the end panel of a set of five that altogether make up an eight and a half metre long strip. I converted two rooms of a disused council flat into pinhole cameras. In the bedroom I wrapped photographic paper around three walls and made an exposure to create a single eight and a half metre long negative. I then contact printed this in sections to create a positive image which is a kind of record of what the room sees of the outside world. From the 15th floor of this tower block on top of a hill at the outermost edge of Glasgow it is possible to see all of Castlemilk and on a good day the rest of the city and the hills beyond.
