Synopsis: Fifty photographs taken at head height, systematically captured: Her face/the space/her face/the space...then looped and layered, the images form a 'landscape' that transposes the space of the face and embeds it within the architecture of the environment so it mirrors, ghosts and repeats like death itself.
