Felicity Hammond has been co-commissioned by HOUSE and Photoworks to produce an installation called Show Room: The Language of Living. Posing as a luxury property-buyer, Felicity has researched the simulated domestic settings and constructed worlds of the ‘renders’ that illustrate architects’ proposals. Hammond photographs these digitally manipulated images from property developers’ billboards and glossy brochures and prints them directly onto moldable acrylic sheets. The artist then contorts these into beautifully crafted sculptural objects. Using these photo-sculptures she turns virtual worlds into a visually curious physical space. Hovering between the real and imagined, Hammond says, this environment “sits somewhere between the archaic and futuristic, between luxury and decay.”
Felicity Hammond (b 1988, UK) received a Masters degree from the Royal College of Art in 2014. Winner of the 2016 British Journal of Photography International Photography Award, she has been a finalist and nominee for numerous other awards including Magnum and Photo London Inaugural Photographer Award 2015 nominee, Saatchi New Sensations 2014 finalist and Metro Imaging Printing Award 2014. Her work had been exhibited widely and most recently with South Kiosk Gallery at Unseen, Amsterdam 2015; Saatchi Gallery, London 2015; The Lowry, Manchester 2015.
