the street menu
2024 . 9 min
THE STREET MENU is made up of 50 rolls of black and white 35mm film, all double exposed with the use of 12 different film cameras in 4 different countries. Each roll has been exposed in 2 different cameras, in 2 different countries and conditions. As in, I might’ve shot the first roll on a Sea&Sea underwater camera with a flash gun off the coast of Wales, but then double exposed that roll with a Rollei 35S camera on a river cruise in Amsterdam at night. Then the next roll might’ve been first exposed with the Leica M6 with a fisheye lens and a smashed UV filter in Paris in the rain, but then double exposed with the Nikon F3 and a tilt-shift lens at a protest in London in the sun.

A dark revelation leads Harry, a gentle factory welder to the realisation that the world around him is driven by empty sex and shallow desires. Going against the grain in the juvenile culture he is trapped in, he strives for chivalry. As Harry's moral dilemmas intensify and corner him we fear for his life as his world caves in. DOGGY, a profound and treacherous story of betrayal.
