Shaina @ Cornerhouse

The exhibition occupied the 2nd floor 'corner' of Cornerhouse. Two arms of the gallery converged to form corner windows that overlooked the mast of a large surveillance camera in the centre of the traffic island outside. 4 LCD monitors on the Right-side wall contained videos from MMU sessions, with MMU Campus walk playing on the inside wall. The Mall videos played on LCD monitors on the left and the Regeneration video sat as a floor projection.
