Felicity Hammond’s latest photoinstallations look at the shaky foundations of the modern cityscape

British multimedia artist Felicity Hammond’s latest work, Fault Line, deconstructs the utopian visuals of towering developments into collapsing cityscapes, using creases and folds to evoke the financial instability. Hammond created the collages by hand before rescanning the newly assembled city, encouraging viewers to consider the role we ourselves play in the increasing fragility of urban space. Due to be shown in September at the inaugural Photo 2020 festival in Melbourne, the 30m-work will surround a newly built metro station.
