Hugo Glendinning Associated Project:

I will use the oldest and largest photographic format (10X8 negative) to investigate at a forensic level the effect of Fortier’s performance on the people, the architecture and space around him. In the current digital world it is always tempting to collect large amounts of information and then filter and combine material in order to interpret or tell stories. It will be my intention to tell my story in a single photograph using this most detailed form of photography (usually reserved for architecture and the inanimate) to quietly reveal the effects of Fortier’s work on the immediate environment, and vice versa. That is not to say that I will take only one picture but I will be shooting slowly and with consideration of the changing scene before me aiming to find a single moment that works to make visible the true complexity of the shifting order of things before the camera.
