Stone on Stone (excerpt)

Rob Carter’s videos and photographs examine paper as both a physical object and as a malleable document of the real. The work employs stop motion animation, time-lapse video and photographic ‘re-constructions’ to spotlight the iconic and political structures in our urban environment, especially sports stadia, skyscrapers, churches, and other historical landmarks. Recent work draws parallels between the inspiration of the natural world, and human manipulation and control of it in the past, present and future.
