Alison Lloyd: still from 144 x 30 (2016 x 2022)

"The land knows you, even when you are lost."  Robin Wall Kimmerer

As part of Photo Fringe 2024, this group exhibition curated by Jane and Jeremy, will bring together the work of artists who explore mankind's physical, emotional, and cultural connection to the land.  The exhibition seeks to encourage people to rediscover and reconnect with the natural world and with themselves, particularly in a time when digital connections and virtual spaces are becoming increasingly prevalent.

Taking over three spaces within the building at Marine Workshops, this exhibition will feature work by Rhiannon Adam, Alison Lloyd, Kathryn Martin, Véronique Rolland, Eric Hosking, Molly Maltman and Sara Knelman.  Alongside the artworks will be an interactive space with books curated by Photoworks and a bookmaking area.

Alison Lloyd's wonderful film 144 x 30 (2016-2022) is a sequence of 144 30 second bursts of footage taken in a variety of locations between 2016 and 2022, captured on iPhone and edited into a mesmeric reflection of time and place, particularly through lockdown. It has an essential rigour to it similar to Vivienne Dick's landmark film Guerillere Talks (1978), positioning 'given' situations next to each other to form something way greater than the sum of its parts. Alison's show Contouring continues here at the gallery in Brighton until December 7th.
