The Artist Jenny Odell writes of her Satellite Images series ‘Changes in scale can unlock infinite possibilities in the very same subject matter. From the perspective of a satellite or a microscope, those elements of our environment which we took the most for granted suddenly appear fantastical, outlandish. A shift either way forces us to reexamine the object’. Made as a response to political rhetoric regarding the need to increase the number of inmates in the Uk Prison system, the images in this series employ the same method as Odell to examine structures, that whilst maybe taken for granted, are rarely scrutinised in this manner.
