"Footprint: Emma Hunt, Hannah Guy, Michael Greenhalgh"

Emma Hunt’s work is primarily concerned with ambivalence of British Identity, capturing a retrospective view of cultural identity. Her series of photographs taken in response to fox hunting traditions in Devon, questions how identity fits into present-day existence and how its hybrid complexity defies definition.

Hannah Guy produces work that sits somewhere between photography and film. In her animation series, Staccato (Sketches 1-4), 2006, she considers our relationship with the natural world, the still photograph and the anxieties we face about nature’s uncertain future.

Michael Greenhalgh photographs, ‘What would your soul look like?’ explores ideas of alienation and mortality in contemporary Britain and question society’s drive to deny them. Taken inside former asylums and hospitals they present the viewer with glimpses of a world which many never see.
