Brighton and Hove Open Door Event 2012 (BHOD) and Brighton Digital Festival , brings to you a unique event in the majestic setting of the Undercliff walk. In-keeping with the heritage festivals exploration of Brighton & Hove’s architectural splendour, this exhibition setting sees the ‘cliff corridor’ open out into a space evocative of an amphitheatre.
The sea wall is envisaged by many as a fortress in an unyielding battle against the sea due to its volatile and enduring relationship with coastal erosion. Through portraiture and landscape photography, Jonathan Hyde approaches this mesmerising space and those who frequent it almost as a counter commemorative process; illuminating the spectacular space whilst also identifying the ways in which it
unites a community. Whilst sensitively configured in a way that echoes the surrounding space, the photographs will be accompanied by a poetic audiovisual film projected onto the cliff face. It will focus on the narratives of those who frequent the space; discussing their memories- and for some- their rituals in relation to the Undercliff walk.
