DERIVE
“To come from something or to obtain something from something else” — Cambridge Dictionary.
One of the first collaborative projects I worked on in my first year of university. This project explores the quite unusual “dodgy” area of Digbeth in Birmingham. It’s known for its nightlife, culture & creativity and ever so wacky graffiti. Literally every corner you turn, you’ll find some sort of crazy and colourful artwork displayed on walls and buildings. As part of my own contribution to this project, I wanted to have a go playing around with the photographs I captured during our walks in this area as a way of seeing how removing all that colour can change the usual visual of this eerie place and how that differed from the way Digbeth is presented at night.
