Here is a sneak peek of Village Green, the one day arts festival in Chalkwell Park, Southend on Sea hosted by Metal in September.I was invited to present my interactive installation Family Portraits, offering visitors to have a professional family portrait taken. However, instead of being pictured with their actual family the subjects were complete strangers asked to participate at random.
The day went unbelievably well! It was relentlessly busy, leaving me with 3 half hour breaks in 9 hours (though I managed to sneak off to see Phil Jupitas.) So many people wanted to be part of their very own UnFamily and walked away with a shared experience to keep with them always. The hundreds of images are currently in post production...UnFamilys coming soon.
