One image compresses roads, vehicles and buildings into repeated horizontal rows. Another sets night-time architecture alongside silhouettes of pedestrians. Elsewhere, regular window-like cells hold buses, roads and trees. Recognizable urban fragments recur without resolving into one continuous panorama. The images can be compared through their different arrangements: some emphasize lateral extension, others retain the boundaries of individual frames, and colour alternates with monochrome. The portfolio gives no individual titles for the four images. Its title page records a light-box work measuring 512 × 217 mm, dated December 2009. All four images remain grouped under that title here. ## Works & details Inside and Outside a Vehicle, 2009. Portfolio image 2 of 4. Inside and Outside a Vehicle, 2009. Portfolio image 3 of 4.
