When reconsidering the sequencing of my images, I am thinking of horizontally flipping the final image. Although earlier I mentioned not wanting to alter the structural qualities of the images as I want this to remain a real place, I think mirroring the image is on a different level to actually removing parts of the structure.
It's a tough call, but I think the image creates more of a narrative sequence when horizontally flipped. The original version (left) jars the end of the sequence - it functions as a crescendo to the end point of the sequence which then functions to leave the viewer 'hanging', as they are left with a cut-off part of the building. Although I would normally adopt this approach, as experimented with in my FMP1 work, I do not feel it's appropriate in this context. I think the work as a whole is intended as an insight and exploration into place, and stepping off the sequence lightly allows the work to stand freely in its own right, raise the questions it needs to raise, and then leaves the viewer with them. In contrast to this, the more jarring approach demands more of the viewer and is somewhat confrontational - this piece is not supposed to be confrontational, but more of a small provocation.
