This work employs photography and moving image to focus on the seemingly mundane and ephemeral encounters with light as it enters our everyday spaces. By slowing down, observing, and documenting how light permeates and interacts with my immediate environment, Jowitt draws attention to the typically overlooked and ordinary fleeting moments of everyday life. He is interested in exploring the perceptual experience of how people look rather than what they are looking at. By examining the visceral experience of looking at something, or nothing, for prolonged periods of time, the work aims to disrupt traditional views about subject matter, shifting instead to perception and the act of seeing.
