Heavy View
2020In her work Heavy View, Laura Yuile collects outdated and malfunctioning TVs and other electrical items, grouping them in constellations of overlapping pop-up windows similar to a computer desktop while pebble dashing their screens. This cheap architectural render is imbued with all the associations of suburbia, which the artist employs as both a 'white-noise' and an urban camouflage. Yuile’s intention is to make these salvaged objects disappear and to create an opportunity for them to exist as something else. Heavy View is a project that developed out of the artist´s consideration of technological and architectural obsolescence; the failed utopia of modernist social housing, and the rapid waste generated by unfashionable or unrepairable devices.
