Being Nobody, Going Nowhere is a new photographic work, being shown for the first time during the Brighton Photo Fringe as an outdoor exhibition, open 24/7.

It is being installed as large panels spanning 8 metres, in the windows of the old Co-op department store in Brighton, transforming the space into temporary gallery walls.

The photographs in this series were made over a number of years, during an unremarkable period in time. They are the product of a personal quest to break away from the habits of life and seek satisfaction through the beauty of the everyday.

Time passes in a blur; we are preoccupied by an obsession for the past and with what will be in the future. In our hunt for the significant, the moment is rarely savoured, but what can be learnt if we examine that which is in our peripheral vision?

Modern living can be seen as an ugly pursuit – high rise generic buildings; dirty cluttered streets; roads, wires and pipes dissecting our surroundings. However, amongst these visual challenges a thousand significant moments pass us by each day, lying unnoticed unless we choose to step into the present. The camera can be used to exploit this, to highlight elements of our surroundings, stopping the world for a fraction of a second and turning a fleeting glance into a lingering consideration.

Using the camera to freeze time, re-examine the routine and re-consider everything, Being Nobody, Going Nowhere is a celebration of the profound hidden in the mundane. The images illustrate a different way of looking, absorbing the undervalued and seeking out poetry in the overlooked.
