Low Visibility traces fog as both atmosphere and agent: something we attempt to produce, control and dispel, but which can just as readily take hold of us. The video moves between external and internal landscapes, between fog as an atmospheric condition and a disturbance of perception. In Brief Encounter, fog suspends the ordinary, allowing desire to emerge, while in The Incredible Shrinking Man, it becomes a supernatural agent of irreversible physiological change. Elsewhere, security systems deploy dense artificial haze to disorient potential intruders, while airport landing-strip diagrams reveal technologies designed to make the world navigable when visibility fails. Viral footage becomes another kind of fog, with images circulating without resolution or clarity.
These encounters sit alongside fog’s more pleasurable connotations: the haze of the dancefloor, the theatricality of spectacle, and the possibility of losing oneself within an altered atmosphere. Moving between natural phenomena, systems of control and embodied experience, Low Visibility considers what happens when our attempts to map, measure and organise the world give way to uncertainty. Combining original footage, found material and technical drawings, the work resists clarity and linearity, exploring instead the potentials of staying in the mist.
