In the 2015 exhibition, Cloud Land, for the Museum of Brisbane, Robyn Stacey transformed hotel rooms into dark rooms that captured a unique series of portraits of Brisbane in Australia. These portraits enfold conditions of interiority and exteriority as well as spaces that resemble the past and the present. The collapsing of time and space found in Stacey’s work is central to the analysis presented in this paper. Anthony Vidler’s reading of Deleuze’s concept of ‘the fold’ informs the analytical framework of Stacey’s work. Vidler uses the camera obscura to describe the theories presented in The Fold and he also presents a critical view on how designers have previously read and applied Deleuze’s theories to ‘architectural space.’ This paper also draws from Vidler’s concept of ‘dark space,’ described as the unconscious way we are forced to engage with the often confusing spatial experiences of contemporary built environments. This confusion leads to our experiences of the city being largely unseen.
