Out of Place (2020)

The run up to and aftermath of the UK referendum on EU membership was a distressing time. Aggressive and divisive political discourse started influencing how I looked at my environment. To explore this further, I started running... with a camera. Running requires physical effort and environmental awareness, so I could not spend much time composing. I usually ran at night and darkness made the outcomes unpredictable. These photographs are the result of this very direct approach to image making. They capture something about the instability of contemporary Britain... but also about the simple primordial pleasure of running, which no politician can take away.
