John Topping, Realtimelapse (still) 2012. Reproduced courtesy of the artist.
Illuminating a virtual model of Victor Pasmore’s Apollo Pavilion by mapping the relative position of the sun as it passes over the actual pavilion located in Peterlee 12 miles to the east, realtimelapse confronts us with a representation which sets out to question how we decipher “reality” and construct meaning and truth.
The very singular precision and elaborateness of this representation, is however, precisely that which undermines its sense of reality. In this sense the work stands almost as a parable of the commonly perceived viewpoint from which Modernist architecture has popularly been represented.
