Disappearing into Night

‘Disappearing into Night’ is a photographic exhibition by David Kendall exploring how architectural transformation, power generation and energy consumption effects spatial and social change in the built environment. Artworks examine how light pollution affects ‘sound’ and ‘vision’ in shared spaces where people rest, worship and trade amid active construction sites: locales that appear to be silent yet in reality never sleep in the sky glow enveloping the global biosphere.

David Kendall's practice explores how spatial, economic and design initiatives, as well as participatory practices, combine to encourage social and spatial interconnections or dissonance in cities. Kendall utilises visual archives, mapping, events and embodied experiences to activate and generate his photographic, film and site-specific projects. Kendall is a visiting research fellow within the Centre for Urban and Community Research, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK.
