Known and Strange Things Pass reflects on the profound entanglement between technology and contemporary life, exploring how digital systems shape our perception of distance, connection and reality itself. At the centre of the project are the transatlantic communication cables linking the UK and North America, though the work expands far beyond their physical presence to consider wider networks of relation and interdependence.

The photographs were made on both sides of the Atlantic in places where the Internet becomes materially concentrated — sites where immense flows of online activity pass through fragile underwater infrastructures stretched across the seabed between continents.

Through the parallel vastness of the ocean and the Internet, the project confronts entities that are conceptually understandable yet physically impossible to fully grasp. What appears stable, ordinary and familiar is revealed instead as part of larger, invisible systems extending across time and space.

Structured through layered and interwoven sequences, the work allows different temporalities and realities to coexist. As the images unfold, distinctions between near and distant, physical and virtual, natural and technological begin to dissolve, suggesting a world where boundaries are increasingly fluid and interconnected.
