The onset of night time causes the streets of the city to transform into threatening spaces, spaces which conceal the unknown and breed vulnerability and danger. ‘The Precarious Night’ is an urban landscape series documenting the mysterious and uncanny ambience present in a city drenched in the glow of streetlamps at night time. The rich orange lighting, which features in the series, creates an unnatural environment injecting a sense of ambivalence and mystery to the gritty urban scenes of the city pathways. The project confronts themes of time, space, gender and modernity, inspired by an array of photographers by the likes of Effie Paleologou, Rut Blees Luxemburg, Eugène Atget and French poet/critic, Charles Baudelaire. My own experiences of passing through the city at night, a time deemed unsafe for a woman have provided me with further inspiration. ‘The Precarious Night’ would be most suitably situated in a contemporary art gallery.
