A social documentary project using the medium of the video portrait. This work is an ongoing catalogue of all the regular 'People Watchers' who I repeatedly see sitting on public seating around the town centre area of my home of Taunton, Somerset. I think people watching is one of the best uses of a person's time and by turning the camera on the observer I aim to simultaneously subvert and celebrate the action of passively studying society.
A video installation of this project was exhibited in the window of an empty shop on East Reach in Taunton from 18th September - 20th October 2009.
