This month our team photographed the remaining prompts in our fine art series Exiles, funded by The Arts Council, Multistory and The New Art Gallery Walsall. The work is now in post-production in Berlin where our brilliant Massachusetts retoucher and printer Nathan Baker is compositing the 4 images.
Production took place over 4 magical days in May as our team of producers, runners, security, technicians, craftsmen and women, and our locally assembled casts came to the fore to generate a once in a lifetime creative burst. It was food for the soul. Our homage to the experiences of the 10,000 empire workers who arrived to these streets around the time man landed on the moon.
It was a buzz to create again, to be free of lockdowns and able to spend the money we were funded years ago. The cast members were drawn in from online casting and street casting, and they gave their all to achieve the art we went for. We’re eternally grateful to their creative spirits.
