No Place at the Nishi Gallery

Between draft-steady wings and the slow pealing of stones, No Place is the long-awaited dance, video and sound installation piece by award-winning Choreographer Adelina Larsson, a subtle and mesmerising purgatory woven from the lives of four women coming to terms with their basic struggles.

This video is a collaboration between Adelina Larsson and Reuben Ingall, with still photography (and support, love and 4am Milo) by Lorna Sim.

 

Iceland Windows (take 2)

Revisited the Iceland windows… more on the way. Is the cat twee?

Originally…

It’s been so long since I did anything photographic… took a little wander today to the bay where some ships were strung, and got distracted by trying to look into people’s windows. It’s as close as I can get to a domestic Icelandic setting and it’s always fascinating looking in.

Manila pt. 2
