For the Distances Collapsed considers the gap between Modernism and modernisation; the former being an ideology concerned with form and the latter being related to the concept of industry and economy of society. Through clarity, pattern and repetition, Modernism simplifies and codifies the world around us, and the history behind us. It is an aesthetic that lends itself to the digital and the synthetic; by its nature, it is rigid and static. It is therefore inevitably and repeatedly left behind by the onward march of modernisation, its sheen fading no sooner than it is formed.
