"Searching for Truth" 2004

A collaboration with BBC Leeds

For this piece I collaborated with Science and Gareth Gumbs, two residents of the Chapeltown area of Leeds to make an informal documentary video-work combining the conventions of vox-poping and street-corner debating. Over a period of several months Science and Gareth walked the streets of Chapeltown and Harehills talking to predominantly Black and Asian, young men about their experiences of, and opinions about, contemporary urban life. The short videos were presented on the BBC Leeds website. They were also exhibited as an installation at Leeds City Art Gallery along with a projected video conversation between Science and myself in which we reflect together on the overall experience.
