Borrowed light

An installation in an exhibition Blues Skies, Custard Factory, Birmingham, UK. the light shadow was based on a image in one industrial building and transferred to the gallery in another. The gallery was roof lit and the light shadow had some logic. However the intention was to undermine the spectator's idea of the space by introducing a light that was inconsistent with other visual cues.
