In photography a light leak is usually considered a fault, where stray light enters the camera and unintentionally exposes the film, these images are usually treated as a mistake and are discarded. In Let Light Leak In, Davidson isolates and magnifies these overlooked traces, revealing the subtle tonal transitions, colour shifts and atmospheric qualities embedded within these analogue imperfections.

Let Light Leak In transforms these overlooked fragments into a large-scale installation that can be touched, walked on and physically experienced. Moving beyond photography’s conventional representational function. The work foregrounds the material presence of light and process, inviting viewers to encounter photography as a spatial, sensory field rather than a fixed image. Here, the photographic error becomes a colour field where accident, materiality and atmosphere converge.
