In her work Heavy View, Laura Yuile collects outdated and malfunctioning TVs and other electrical items, grouping them in constellations of overlapping pop-up windows similar to a computer desktop while pebble dashing their screens. This cheap architectural render is imbued with all the associations of suburbia, which the artist employs as both a 'white-noise' and an urban camouflage. Yuile’s intention is to make these salvaged objects disappear and to create an opportunity for them to exist as something else. Heavy View is a project that developed out of the artist´s consideration of technological and architectural obsolescence; the failed utopia of modernist social housing, and the rapid waste generated by unfashionable or unrepairable devices.

Laura Yuile’s multidisciplinary practice explores the entanglements between domestic and urban space through matters of community, sustainability, and obsolescence, and the effects of globalisation and technological development.
