Dwell

For the past few months I have been collaborating on an interactive photography project with my group Tri-cycle, made up of myself, Sophia Keenan and Julie Wem. The project has been kept secret from other students and most lecturers and so I have been unable to write about it in any public domain. However, as the deadline draws near we have been releasing bits of information, such as our press release and images for posters, which I will include here.

Photography group Tri-cycle aim to unsettle with debut show.

            A chance to see the first exhibition by the collaborative group Tri-cycle. The group consists of Sophia Keenan, Sharon Mosey and Julie Wem, all second year photography students studying at the University of Chester. They have pushed the boundaries of traditional photography to incorporate set building based inside a caravan within the university grounds.

Dwell is an interactive experience in which viewers are invited to explore their environment and aim to make sense of what they are seeing. Keenan, Mosey and Wem have spent the past few months following, collecting and compiling a vast amount of information, images and items, from both online and real life sources, related to their chosen ‘victim’, which culminates in an eclectic and unsettling display. The project was kept relatively secret from their victim, with only the minimum amount of information given away in order to obtain permission. The effect of revealing the work to the victim will be part of the artwork and a recording of this reaction can be viewed at the exhibition.

There will be a free exhibition opening, with free refreshments provided, from 4 until 6 pm on Thursday 16^th December. Guests should meet in the reception from where they will be lead out to the venue in small groups. Everyone is welcome to come and see this exciting work.
