For the sixth SCAPE Ruth Watson was to present Swamp, an artwork for visitors to and residents of Christchurch to engage with the inner city streetscape at night.

Swamp was to consist of two large-scale outdoor video projections to be viewed at night along High Street. The imagery was both site-specific and open-ended in reference.

After the Christchurch earthquakes it was re-worked for its re-presentation on Silo 6 along the Auckland Waterfront. The imagery was presented as two separate moving images, showing sequences of water that flowed, reversed and flowed again.
