Picturehouse (Work In Progress) is an observational study of the development of the Abbeydale Picturehouse as a multi-purpose venue, demonstrating the character of the venue itself through images of people, objects and the renovation of the interior.
This project explores the inclusion of narrative within contemporary social documentary practice, and the problematised history of representation used with photography in an anthropological context. This critical underpinning to the work is explored through compositions of mini narratives, conveying the way the space is occupied and used by different communities and cultures of people; further accompanied by aesthetically considered images of the details which make the venue unique.
