Big in Brighton

A weekend in Brighton with Angela Chick and Yannik Eilers. We had big ideas: making miniature underwater sets for Yannik to shoot using his new underwater camera. This didn't happen, but we thought of these ideas to go with the underwater theme:

  • putting milk in the water to make it cloudy

  • underwater treasure coral

  • an underwater butcher selling horses and man-meat

  • an underwater office

  • putting dye in the water

  • putting our faces in the water

I collaged a lot and here is what I made:

Men statues: “they made people feel quite uncomfortable” Made on old photographic paper – words scraped on with a pin (ouch) and head collage.

ALL these things are about to take off. Arrow found in the weekend papers, strange words: ‘sno-cats, majestic peaks, penguins and seals, fur seals and colorful markets’ found in the index page of an old encyclopedia.

I found some men with interesting expressions. (best faces found in Money and Sport sections)
