Images and presentation
Field of View consists of three horizontal city images. Roads, traffic, elevated structures and buildings occupy successive rectangular blocks. Some areas appear almost continuous; others abruptly change brightness, angle or scale. Repeated rows establish a clear structure while retaining the points where neighbouring views fail to line up completely.
Where a conventional street photograph might choose one instant, these images contain numerous adjacent views within a single field. The city can be recognized broadly or read cell by cell. The title page records a light box measuring 512 × 320 mm, dated December 2009. Three images follow it, without separate subtitles.

Field of ViewHamlet’s Mirror / Four-screen CAFAM Proposal
Field of View juxtaposes city views in rectangles; the CAFAM four-screen proposal places viewers between screens. The move from planar divisions to enclosure changes viewing positions, while realization of the proposal remains unverified.

The jointly signed proposal of 5 September 2016 surrounds the space with four screens and distinguishes audience and performance areas by colour; the evidence is a proposal and equipment arrangement.
