"Antony Cairns has hacked into the software of each device and made it possible to view the entire archive of imagery he has created for LDN, a series of photographs taken in London, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Paris, and Tokyo. In these photographs he focuses on buildings, architectural details, multi-storey car parks, underpasses, and walkways, which combine to create an accumulated nocturnal landscape. The pictures originate as 35mm transparencies, which are part-developed and then solarised before the developing process is resumed, then from inter-negatives Cairns makes contact prints, which, when exhibited are made directly onto aluminium panels, or as lith prints on paper. In addition to the modifications to the software he has also modified the outward appearance of each device"-- Ian Jeffrey.
