Peter fixed his gaze on change over time as seen from spe­cific spaces across the build­ing site, whilst Dawn fol­lowed with the cam­era whatever work was going on at the time of the visit. Through these approaches, it was pos­sible to appre­ci­ate dif­fer­ences in work­ers’ rela­tion­ships to the build­ing (con­cep­tual, mater­ial, embod­ied), and doc­u­ment how suc­cess­ive lay­ers of the refur­bish­ment served to con­ceal earlier labour.
