Beacons Festival 2014 Ads #1

on March 27, 2014February 28, 2021 By xenogothic

If the latest Beacons Festival announcements weren’t exciting enough on their own, some of the pictures I’ve taken there over the past two years are being featured in a bunch of places over the coming months. These two were used over the last few days and are currently everywhere which is pretty cool! There are also posters, flyers, a Crack magazine ad and a billboard(!!!) on the way in April and May.

A Wild & Beautiful Silly Wizard

(The Newington Health Care Centre is the building in which I was born. It was called something else then and didn’t look like a giant alien coffee machine but it would have been cool if it did.)

These annuals initially started life as a series of zines of irreverent and diaristic photos that were produced every few months and dubbed “visual mixtapes”.

The zines were an exercise in photographing as a visual diary to revisit and resequence later. They were my visual equivalent to the aural mixes that develop alongside each of my more long-term projects. The zines have now become print-on-demand annuals – a yearly mix of visual trends and influences, memories and experiences.

They are available to order here via Blurb.
