Part of Miniclick’s ‘Another Way of Looking” programme, created in association with Brighton Photo Fringe and Brighton Photo Biennial 2014, this free event gives participants an opportunity to curate their own photo-book from a range of artists work – in photographs, prose, poetry, drawing, collage, etc, etc.
When: 11am-5pm, Saturday 25th October Where: at The Miniclick Business Concern at 68MS, Middle Street, BrightonBelow is one of Miniclick’s documentary photographs of all the work ready waiting to be part of someone’s book. And you can just about make out my photo in the middle of the shot (hanging sideways, behind the giant ear!)
As a photographer I think there’s something quite exciting about giving up a photograph to the unknown, for someone else can use it to tell their own story.
