amy feneck’s work is concerned with the use and interpretation of urban space. recent projects have focused upon how different social groups appropriate and re-map their immediate environment, bringing up discourses on the social and physical structures and hierarchies of a given site.

for her installation in the leas lift amy investigated the mythologisation of the british coastline, using the unique interior of the leas lift as a space in which to reflect upon the notion of the british costal landscape as a constructed space.

during the weekend of the 26th and 27th of july, amy transformed one of the lift carriages into a moving camera obscura, creating a reversed motion picture of the folkestone seascape.

using the carriage as an enlarged pin-hole camera, she made photographic exposures of the flipped horizon in an attempt to record this constructed landscape as a true experience.
