Event Navigation
Exhibition ends July 2015
Selected and commissioned from an open call by FotoDocument, ten emerging and established photographers have created ten photo essays in response to each of the ten principles of One Planet Living, a sustainability framework created by Bioregional, and adopted by the city of Brighton & Hove.
Showing in key public spaces across the city, the exhibitions will remain in place for ten months. All the works have been made over summer 2014 and the photographers have been supported by environmental specialists at Brighton & Hove City Council and other One Planet Living partner organisations.
The project has been conceived, commissioned and curated by FotoDocument in partnership with Photoworks and Bioregional and supported by Arts Council England.
Other FotoDocument funders, sponsors and key partners include: Brighton & Hove City Council, Ernest Cook Trust, E.ON, Southern Rail, Earth & Stars Pub, Freegle, Spectrum, Standard8, 7creative, Green Sea Collective, Hogan-Lovells and University of Brighton.
Sustainable Materials
Using sustainable healthy products, with low embodied energy, sourced locally, made from renewable or waste resources
Amanda Jackson: My initial thinking for this project, to concentrate on building work taking place in Brighton & Hove, all changed when I met with Cat Fletcher, a wonder of information about all things sustainable and reducing waste. I learnt more about the reuse side of sustainable materials. As I am primarily a portrait photographer I wanted to include people in the series. I have focused on showing how everyone can get involved with reuse and that it can be fun and imaginative, allowing for the creation of individual pieces, buildings and artwork. The majority of the photos show the people behind reuse in Brighton & Hove.
