Consider Falling
The keynote exhibition, the OPEN18 SOLO winner, Consider Falling by Sarah Howe, was selected from an international open call via LensCulture by a panel of photography professionals
Composed of mediated fragments, a series of moving image exerts merged within an installation, Consider Falling balances on the edge of document and form. Rooted in research surrounding the anxiety disorders Derealisation (the condition wherein a person feels the reality surrounding them is unreal) and Depersonalisation (a feeling of detachment from oneself, or that oneself is unreal) the precarious nature of perception is performed through a series of works that accumulate to create a subtly unsettling experience.
OPEN18 SOLO Exhibition was generously supported by Metro Imaging and Arts Council England.
OPEN18 MOVING IMAGE
A showcase of the OPEN18 MOVING IMAGE. Through an open call, the Fringe sought moving image works by early career practitioners that are informed by photography and photographic practice in some way.
The 12 artists were selected to exhibit at ONCA Gallery in Brighton, alongside the festival’s keynote solo exhibition, Sarah Howe's Consider Falling.
OPEN18 PARTICIPATE: We are all connected
Les Monaghan was selected from open call with a project that shows the human and personal connections that spread out from one homeless man on a Brighton street. Ostensibly he would appear to be outside society but Monaghan believes through photographs and texts that he can show how close, interlinked and similar we are. He wants to change how people experiencing homelessness are seen, how we – wherever we may appear in the chain of relationships with this ostracised man – see ourselves, and how we are only a few steps from each other.
OPEN18 Participate was generously supported by Colourstream, Wenban-Smith and Earthborn Paints. Funded by Arts Council England, Brighton & Hove City Council and Chalk Cliff Trust.
