honeybrothers Associated Project:

We intend to document around the same location as Paul-André Fortier's Solo 30x30, at the same time for a period of 10 days. Like Paul-André's piece, the commuters who use Liverpool Street station repeat the same actions, at the same time, in the same place every day. Changes in their pattern of movement are dictated by outside forces: the intervention of other people; the weather; a train being late meaning the need to rush.

Our project aims to detail the choreography of everyday life. We hope that those who view it will be stimulated to think of movement, not necessarily in abstract terms, but as a vital component of everyday life where we 'dance' without even realising it.

Biography: honeybrothers, formed in 1998, are Daniel and Mark Goddard. Their work to date has been an investigation of contrasting relationships: truth and lies, looking at familiar territory from a different angle, re-evaluating the space and environment around us, making people examine and question their preconceptions. Their digital films have been show in galleries and festivals worldwide, toured with onedotzero and on FilmFour/Channel Four.

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.
