File Regions
File Regions, enhances hesitation, disorientation, and shifts in perception. The project aims to extend my photographic work (Drift Works) into immersive environments or regions, asking how technology can open worlds within worlds rather than deliver effects.
File Regions aims to extend static photography into spatialised thresholds, doors, corridors, staircases, mirrors, where subtle parallax and shifting light let viewers move through images rather than simply look. Each region becomes a fragment of an imagined archive.

Aims of the project
The project explores hesitation as a creative moment. Minimal interaction with drift, proximity, and crossing transforms the image into a perceptual event. Not a spectacle, but attention, pause, and the sense of moving through worlds within worlds.
This research feeds directly back into painting, photography, and architecture. Each immersive threshold becomes a studio lesson, a way of understanding how technology shapes, guides, and falters within visual regions.

he/him
Gareth Lloyd is a British visual artist working across painting, architecture, and photography. His practice explores perception, cultural exchange, and the systems that shape how images are produced and encountered. Through serial works and expanded formats, he examines how images relate in space, across cultures and over time. His projects often consider thresholds, translation, and the tension between structure and movement.
Lloyd has exhibited internationally, including in London, New York, Madrid, and Thailand, and has taught in interdisciplinary contexts spanning fine art and architecture. His work engages questions of form, conjunction and disjunction, and the productive dynamics between order and disruption.
