Iceolation
















I organised, curated and participated in a group exhibition of all our work. After five weeks in Iceland I had completed a series of photographs under the project title "Nina, the ghost who lives in my house" Basically it was all about a pretend ghost who is obsessed with boys and follows young couples around spying on them. I developed everything in the dark room on the floor below my apartment, which was such a good find! we had a really dodgy old enlarger, but I got there with it in the end... I happened to be using colour film which i developed in black and white because that was all the chemicals I had.
It was a great night, and we were all really suprised people actually turned up! As we didnt know that many people to invite so we were dead impressed when a bunch of strangers turned up. I woke up the next morning to discover that one of my polaroids had mysteriously disappeared... which was very creepy considering it was two days away from halloween and the picture was of me dressed up as a ghost. Anyway, turned out it was just my lovely housemate Julia who liked it and spontaeniously swiped it, then confessed her crime to me the next day. Oh Julia...
