The Rattle Reel - Public Art Performance in Bournemouth

The Rattle Reel


This is my performance I staged earlier this year in late April in Bournemouth Town Center. It consists of myself standing on top of a plinth shadow boxing, with two boxing gloves linked via a metal chain, whilst blindfolded. None of the public knew about the performance prior to its staging. In the performance I focused on issues concerning social ideals; in particular inner-male conflict and male insecurities of their own image. I also wanted to explore the identification of art within public and questioning how we label aesthetics as art.

Street Photography of Brick Lane

Brick Lane - Misunderstood

My photography of Brick Lane and its surrounding areas (all images captured on an Olympus OM40 with XP2 Super 400 Black & White film). Capturing Brick Lane in all its entirety. Presenting its eccentric lively vibe, contrast with the bleakness and deprivation which coincides with this yet tends to go unnoticed or ignored.
