Artist in Residence at the BRAHM Agency, Leeds 2001
An Arts Council “Year of The Artist” commission
14 days of collaborative art-making in one of the North’s major advertising and PR agencies. I worked with cleaners, directors, creatives, account managers etc. to create new stories, about the people in the building, for the people in the building. Works included a series of silent videos which re-interpreted images of office life which were in turn projected into the open-plan office space; and a reworking of the company logo (in which each coloured line represented a service offered by BRAHM) to include an invisible line to represent the cleaners.

During the residency I made five short videos documenting activity in the agency. These were each projected on a main wall of the open plan office space for a full working day.
