See install images at photo-soup.org/future/photo-soup-mexico/.

Experimenting with different subjects setting off the camera. Apples falling, breaking the beam and triggering the shot. Thinking of Newton’s apple and chains of events – minor events influencing larger. Working on new projection / film for open studio in November – thestudionotebook.blogspot.com
Test set up for commission for The Photographers’ Gallery World in London project using Heather McDonough’s cat – who set the shutter off by moving through the infra red trigger. The final images will be released as part of the overall project next year. More info – thephotographersgallery.org.uk.

Artist Helena Goldwater invited me into the online project Chain Letter London: Swarm of Consciousness. Beginning with 10 invitees; Doug Harvey (Los Angeles: Exhibitions curator), Marnie Weber (Los Angeles), Kevin Sampson (New York City) , Paul Noble (London), Judith McNicol (Hertfordshire), John Lundberg (Huddersfield), Stephen O’Malley (Paris) , Stu Mead (Berlin), Pierre Gauvin (Montreal Quebec), Gast Bouschet & Nadine Hilbert (Luxembourg / Brussels), the project took shape over 30 days as each artist invited new artists, who in turn invited new artists….
