Filmed from Guy Sherwin’s flat in East London, it records sunlight passing through rooms in the course of the day, and across buildings seen from the windows. Guy Sherwin: ‘Sometimes I set the time-lapse camera running and left the house while it recorded the changing light in the empty flat. Downstairs was used for rehearsal by saxophone player Alan Wilkinson. The soundtrack comes from recordings made while walking from room to room as he was playing.’
