Power Station. 2004
13 gelatin silver photographs, 13 type C photographs, 19 cm x 42 cm each

Series of comparative photographs, recording the interiors of two buildings that have been neighbours for nearly 40 years: a power station and a residence. The oil-fuelled power station (built in the 1960s) had been decommissioned at the time that the photographs were taken in 2004. The residence, built in the late 1920s, continues to be occupied.
