Fiona Bowie | Flow

Flow, by Emily Carr faculty member Fiona Bowie with Sidney Fels, is Vancouver's first photo/media-based permanent public art work. Flow, commissioned by the City of Vancouver, is situated at street level at 1 Kingsway, a new civic centre housing a library, community center, residences and a games room.

Over the course of the day and night, Flow shifts between live and constructed or theatrical tableaus. During daylight hours, Flow's dynamic glass surface provide the outside viewer with shifting glimpses of the activity inside and provides individuals inside with shifting views of the street. During the early morning and after dusk, Flow transforms into continuously changing tableau in which hundreds of photographic portraits and landscapes, shot by Bowie over the last few years are blended and projected onto the changing surface. A system custom-designed by Bowie and Fels allows figures shot at different times to appearas if they are simultaneously present, with a core group of these figures or actors recurring in a manner that implicitly suggests they're part of a larger narrative.
