Heart-Marked Food Stall and Rooftop Lunch

A single sequence pairing a ground-level food stall with a rooftop view, connected visually by heart-shaped marks appearing in every frame.

food stall / rooftop / circular sign / clock tower / wire mesh fence

The sequence opens inside a food stall kitchen, where a cook in a white t-shirt and dark cap grates food above a wide pan of pale shredded food, hands blurred by motion. One small heart-shaped mark already appears at the lower left of the frame.

The sequence then moves to a rooftop, where a large circular red-and-white sign stands on a mast against a hazy sky, a grey stepped tower with a round clock face visible behind it. A wire mesh fence, a small airplane, steel trusswork, and a tree appear in a following frame, and heart-shaped marks continue to overlay the sky and later a shadow-striped wall.

The final frames settle into a rooftop planting of small white flowers, grass blades, and two small brown-winged insects, before returning to the food stall for a view through its glass display case. Heart-shaped stickers, outlines, and dot marks recur throughout, tying the ground-level and rooftop scenes into one sequence.

Light, Color & Surface

  • Intervals of Visibility - Partial visibility connects isolated forms, softened architecture, layered color, and subjects defined by concentrated light.
  • Same Shots, Warm and Cool - A repetition study: the same dockside boat, the same portrait, and the same riverside shrub each appear twice, rendered once in saturated warm tones and once in cooler, more neutral color.
  • Double Exposure in Black and White - A sequence of six overlapping black-and-white exposures that layer trees, buildings, glowing cursive text, light trails, and carved stone into single frames.
  • Double Exposure B&W (II) - Layered exposures where two scenes coexist in one frame, moving from painted surfaces to sky, architecture, water, and stone.
  • Double Exposure B&W III - Each frame stacks two visible scenes: hard-edged objects and lettered signs on one layer, plants or patterned surfaces on the other, so that neither layer fully covers the other.
  • Sun Blade, Blue Cross, Red Water - Three visually disparate frames - a sunlit portrait, a blue-lit sanctuary interior, and an overhead view of tinted water - grouped for their shared contrast of sharply divided light and color rather than any confirmed...
  • Through the Pane - A walk through an interior where lit tubing, striped color, warm stone, and a translucent red object are bracketed by two neon works seen through reflective glass.
  • Numbered Mosaic Pillars in a Tiled Passage - A photographic inventory of round, tiled pillars, each carrying one mosaic numeral in a checkered band, arranged as a descending count that skips two digits.
