b. 1979, Leeds

Elias Thorn

Series: Antechamber

“A corridor between rooms is still a room. I wanted to know what happens to looking while it is in transit.”

Elias Thorn trained as an architect before turning the same eye toward the people who move through the buildings he once designed. Antechamber follows visitors in the seconds before and after they arrive at a work, treating the walk itself as the subject. Thorn now divides his time between Leeds and Lisbon.
