Nick Stewart: Surface Tension

A Picture This and Royal Photographic Society Commission. Funded by the Arts Council of England and South West Arts

Surface Tension was filmed at the Bath Spa and features portraits of shadowy heads in black and white. As the figures view the spa their faces emerge and then disappear, engulfed in the steam from the water. The installation comprised a built gallery environment with a glass table, back projected images and mirrors.
