As technology becomes more integrated in our daily lives, our distance from reality and each other increases - creating a desire for community and a hunger for a more meaningful & colourful existence; In this collection of films, I challenge the day to day mundanities of our time and offer a glimpse into an alternative way of living.
Binding west-country temperament with classical compositions of pre-20th century genre painting, I will document a series of moments with a camaraderie of co-conspirators - highlighting their remote beauty, artistic alignment and tribal togetherness. I will also interrogate the consumerist ideologies and structures that shape our modern society. How do we reconnect to the natural world, to our communities and to ourselves? What does it mean to be free, happy and fulfilled in the 21st century?
Viewers are invited to join our crew on an experimental journey of collaboration & creative discovery - to bring about a longing for togetherness and to question their own assumptions and values.
By assembling, I hope we can encourage new ways of thinking and living.
