description About

"In the summer of 2010 I was artist-in-residence at Intermondes and the International Film Festival of La Rochelle. My ambition was to try and capture some of the town’s psyche and a little bit of its’ geography. To this end I was aided by the photographer Sebastian Edge, his ancient wet collodion photographic techniques, a mobile dark room and his assistant Gloria Lin. I documented the making of a series of photographs that managed to capture a sense of ‘place’. Ever alert to the spirit of ‘timesgone’ I have edited sounds and images that evoke a somewhat off-kilter reading of all things Rochellaises." – Andrew Kötting
