The Wapping Project returns with director Jules Wright tapping photographer Thomas Zanon-Larcher for PASSAGE – an immersive exhibition now open to the public.

Reimagined especially for the space it inhabits, the Boiler House enjoyed an overhaul to create an arid theatre installation affixed with adjacent projection screens. Stills and moving image come together showcasing well-trodden passages through European landscapes. Paris, Vienna, Cambridge, Milan and the Swiss Gotthard Tunnel all have their moment in the eurotrotting flick.

While meant to be imbibed, don’t think of it as a drive-thru takeaway experience. “I don’t expect [the audience] to take away – that is not what I set out to achieve,” explains Zanon-Larcher. “I do hope the people who see the piece engage with it, respond to the story and ideally come up with there own view on what happens in it.”

What could easily be read into as a Hitchcockian moodboard, Zanon-Larcher cites Hitchcock’s The Third Man as being “the prevailing mood…present in the Vienna images shot around the ‘Riesenrad’. The other scenes in Vienna were more influenced by the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard.” PASSAGE is open to the public until March 10.
