An Interior Archive is an exploration of temporal intangible qualities and moments of non-visual sensory engagement, through vehicles of archiving, sound and film. This research is motivated by a recurring affinity with the intangible, temporal, fleeting and mundane elements of interiority, and the ways in which these qualities can be observed, denoted, manipulated and intensified to offer up new understandings and experiences of interior.

 

Through text based research, interventions, making, site-responses and a process of documentation, the research considers interior as not fixed, but as a culmination of spatial and temporal forces. The project utilises archiving as a technique and an active documentation tool, as well as a conceptual foundation for the investigation, utilising repetition and intervention as key tools for development throughout. This project predominantly focuses on sound and film technologies, in order to capture, amplify and manipulate intangible qualities within situational interiors.
