“I loved Norbert’s concept of creating a story, which contained within it portals into other dimensions – in the physical sense, as well as metaphorically. With its pagan presence, the ancient stone circle at Stonehenge has served as a portal of sorts for millennia. What better setting for Norbert’s unfolding, multidimensional reverie? My job on this project was to help define the visual language of the story through grading, colouration, retouch, and glitch effects. By exploring the imaginary line which separates, what could be described as analogue and digital aesthetics, we tried to create a playful piece, one which operates on more than one level, without taking itself too seriously. In the process, we wanted to steer clear of traditional techniques of digital make-belief, and instead, have a go at the surface of the images in an almost mechanical manner, as if cut with a kitchen knife. The idea was to help capture a story of glitched realities, visually arresting, and gloriously irreverent.”

“It was important to us to come up with a shooting method that captured the exhibition in the highest quality, and allowed the user both a sense of freedom to look around and also an opportunity to focus on what the curator wanted to highlight from particular pieces.”
