“Urban Darkness” aims to reconceptualize darkness in the cityscape at night. The work forms part of Chantal Meng’s dissertation, Light at Night: What is the Matter with Darkness? This practice-based research, comprising photography and drawing as notational media, explores how artificial light impacts –– and even causes –– darkness in the urban night. The photographs draw parallels to our visual and spatial understanding of image, light, and shadow. Night Drawing events, and the practice of drawing itself, focus on embodied experiences and unseen aspects of nocturnal atmospheres that go beyond visual representation.
