Utility II, Alastair Levy
Digital C-type print
On the way from my home to the tube station I pass a block of flats which is currently being demolished. After a few days of work the façade of this building had been removed and it became possible to see into every one of more than a hundred units. Each room painted a different pastel shade. The spectrum of hues chosen by residents over a period of many years becoming visible in unison for the first time, forming a vast three-dimensional colour swatch. A randomly generated artwork, existing for just a few days until the demolition was complete.
