SW2 >>>> N15 (2015)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toby was invited to create a piece of work as part of a group show in Seven Sisters, North London with The Six Fingers of Fate - a collective of creatives that experiment with how stories can be told.

 

“We were each assigned a random point on a map from a London A to Z then asked to find our way back to the gallery space in N15 through some kind of visual storytelling. My starting point was Coldharbour Lane in Brixton, South London, so I spent a day walking across the city documenting the various characters I met and moments I witnessed along the way.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"The journey formed the basis of a narrative piece exploring how such a vast sprawling city links seemingly random people through their day to day interactions. In each frame of the story, we follow a different protagonist as they go about their day. When they meet or interact with someone new, the focus shifts to that individual until they encounter the next person, and so on. We are left with a visual journey across London through a series of chance encounters connecting one end of the city to the other.”
