Soundcamp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projects include The Reveil daybreak broadcast (3.3 million Twitter impressions on #Reveil2020), Biosphere Open Microphones (BIOM – with UNESCO) and PITCH – a project on indigenous soundworlds in development with Museum of the UN \/ UN Live. ( please see the SC site for full details)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reveil<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My role as Artist in Residence across the years<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first SC was 2014 based at The Shed Stave Hill Ecology Park in Rotherhithe London, it has generally been held in the last weekend of April or the first in May the weekends are filled with a celebration of ecology, sound, the Dawn Chorus and visual recording not just of this London site but as a global collaboration and a broadcast from many sites in rural and city situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year has been slightly different, I have though consistently recorded the event with a diverse range of media and a very slow and alternative way of making photographic images. Employing the use primarily of Pinhole cameras, the days events are caught on film or photographic paper, these have over the years been developed onsite in ‘pop-up’ darkrooms anything from the spare toilet to the Straw Bale shed. Making images this way creates a response and interaction between myself and those taking part over the weekend. Portraits, actions, events, the physical structures and the landscape-hopefully capturing the essence of the event in silver halides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I am making the pinholes I also install other methods of recording the site with the use of long term exposures such as solargraphs, cyanotypes and Lumen prints, in addition to these I make drawings and do my own localised sound recordings. After the event these are collated and some of these are used in publications and the archives for Stave Hill and Soundcamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
