"Eyes Open” 2005

Leeds City Art Gallery

A collaboration with users of St. Georges Crypt Night Shelter in the centre of Leeds. The result of a commission from Leeds City Art Gallery and St. George's Crypt to mark the shelter's 75th anniversary. During the summer of 2005 I spent many evenings at the Crypt talking to the men and women who go there, about what night time means to them. The resulting immersive video installation combined ideas, memories and statements which the people I met passionately wanted to express to a wider audience.
