Outset Residency Fund supported a residency at Camden Arts Centre in March 2011 for Anne Hardy, best known for her large scale photographs of meticulously constructed interiors. Over a period of three months, Hardy built a new 'set' in the Artists’ Studio utilising every day, found materials and drawing on memories from the studio’s past residencies and performances. Using her camera to capture and activate the structure Hardy produced a new photograph and for the first time offered visitors the opportunity to experience the actual construction behind the lens.
RESIDENCY: 14th March - 12th June 2011
Anne Hardy is internationally recognised for her photography and large-scale sculptural installations or ‘FIELDWORKS’, which combine physical materials with light and sound to create immersive and sensual environments. These works derive from places she calls ‘pockets of wild space’ – gaps in the urban space where materials, atmospheres, and emotions gather. Hardy thinks of these works as moments out of time – voids within the ‘everyday’ space, that act as a spell or dream in which to re-encounter our relationships to the worlds that we inhabit.
