Thames Run: Source to Sea (Exhibition 1)

This was part of the Totally Thames 2022 arts festival and shown as multi-media art installation and exhibition at the gallery@oxo, Oxo Tower Wharf, SE1 9PH for the Totally Thames Festival 2022, in partnership with Thames Festival Trust, Coin Street Community Builders & Anglia Ruskin University (ARU).  

The previously live work was transformed into a multi-media installation of overlapping sound and image. An 8m wide map/planner/document/drawing formed the main artwork, with drawn annotations indicating the proposed route and places to stay. Printed images and daily page entries from the blog were placed at intervals along the route. Within each of these a recycled mobile phone replayed the video footage that had originally been live-streamed. Other artworks included 245 photographs taken at every mile during the run and a limited edition etching of the route based on an antique map of the river.
