“...although the Urban Body tries to imagine some of these recordings, he can only convey a sense of his own. He tries to marry the physical and the temporal of his experience, in a misguided attempt to offset isolation and dislocation. He touches the surfaces of the tactile city with his lenses. His body is a passive vehicle that traverses the spaces of his city: an urban environment of uncanny inconsistency and superficial banality. In real-time, its rhythms are slow and predictable. However, entire neighbourhoods are fleeting moments simply travelled through. While rapidly moving, organic and inorganic bodies become blurred beams of light.” - Heinrich Nieuman
