…1st October 2012

A project by Emma Macfarlane & Leonie Hampton

Exhibited at part of the Feminine Touches series Curated by Serena Babowski. Presented at the Shunt Arches, London

The images were placed in a series of narrow, glass tiled tunnels, beneath London Bridge Station. Each picture was back lit and hung as if floating, at the back of one of these rather strange little arches. Headphones where places at the bottom of the caves. An old rickety ladder moved around allowing people to climb up and peer into the spaces… As people popped their heads into view they placed the headphones on and listened to the watery worlds of our ladies. See below for more details.

The pictures were taken in the evening whilst the women bathed. I have links to their stories… when I find them I will pop them up.
