Julia Fullerton-Batten / Looking out from Within
Just as Julia Fullerton-Batten was planning a photo shoot involving a large team of people, everything suddenly came to a halt. Not wishing to sit twiddling her thumbs and doing nothing, she decided to photograph volunteers in their place of lockdown. Her announcement to do so was met with huge success and her subjects, taken from all walks of life, took part with great enthusiasm. No physical contact was required to complete the project. Everything was done by e-mail, telephone, and social media, and then by communication through windows. The ideas for the sets and clothes to be worn was created with the people themselves who, imprisoned in their place of lockdown, were able to break the monotony while the shoot was going on. Julia Fullerton-Batten interviewed each person and, in doing so was able to document this difficult period. This project also enabled her to relearn how to take photos more simply, without a big team around her.
This project was exhibited at Hangar during the exhibition The World Within (PhotoBrussels Festival 05)
