Love and Death (part one) revisited

At the weekend I went to the alley behind Gibson Gardens to see if the first picture was still surviving…

When I got there I found a very large (but unlocked) gate, and through it the whole alley had been cleaned up.  But the picture was still there, and someone had set out a garden chair in front of it so you could sit down and look straight into the picture!  I was thrilled!

blurry scented goodness

taken somewhere along Amhurst Road, N16 I think; this plant had the most amazing smell.  shot on my rubbish mobile.

blurry goodness

the night of the first cherry blossom – i have no real idea why…

the shots are all a few seconds, during which the wind shakes the trees. the camera’s handheld, so my movement’s recorded also.

I took these around 2007-2008.  Someone described them as being “so honest they’re like being run over by a lorry”.  I don’t know about that, but recently I’ve been thinking I might like to have another go.

Meanwhile, in the alley behind The Auld Shillelagh part 2 is long gone,   but in the alley behind Gibson Gardens part 1 is still going strong:

luogoComune Exhibition

The luogoComune Projects will be exhibiting at the Galleria Ex Pescheria, Via Pescheria, 23. Cesena (FC), Italy, from 29th December 2010 to 16th January 2011.

42 artists from Europe and America participated in the projects between 2006-2010, learning and sharing experiences through creative projects and ideas.

luogoComune#3 is focused on a collective reflection on the concept of the roundabout – on the cultural and aesthetical meaning of the town-planning scheme redefined by the appearance of roundabouts, and their radical transformation of one of the founding values of the western civility: the crossroad.

For luogoComune#3 I studied Newington Green,  a roundabout in North East London with a village green at its centre.  For more information click here.

For more information (in Italian) on the luogoComune projects take a look at this pdf: luogoComunelab
