New work created during Euro 2004 made with the assistance of a
two man crew and part funded by The Arts Council.
I am using football as a powerful metaphor to look at British national
identity as it is currently, which is a multi-cultural one.
As a British Asian photographer / Film maker I am looking specifically
at football supporters and the symbolic adoption / adaption of the
St.George's cross.
This is important work which reflects the diversity of cultural
heritage that makes up British identity. You can see this from the
make up of the England team as well as the supporters who follow
them.
Because football is such a global language I will also be looking
at other nations expressions of patriotism specifically Portugal
who are the host nation, and the cultural and sociological significance
this has.
These symbolic and cultural themes will continue in the style of
a visual/cultural journey, to specific locations around the country.
This new material will be added to the existing body of work for
a book publication and new future exhibition. |
