Moseley : A Portrait

Last weekend was Project X Presents… Xhibition in which everyones favourite multidisciplinary Birmingham arts collective took over Moseley Village for a day. I’ve been involved with PXP for a couple of years now documenting their weird and wonderful events but this is the first time I had been asked to contribute a piece of art.

I attempted to capture a portrait of Moseley through compositing over 300 different images in a Hockneyesque style. The collage method injects an element of time into the photograph, creating a truer portrait of the area than simply a static image.

In the end, due to circumstances beyond the control of the Project X organisers, the final print did not make it to the exhibition. It will be exhibited somewhere soon!

Click on the image above to see a large scale version integrated with Google Maps, it loops and you can zoom in to appreciate the level of detail in the final print. There’s also a gallery of pictures taken on the night itself here.
