Mick Williamson's Olympus half-frame camera is less of an extension but rather an component of his being, Mick has been shooting between two to three rolls of film a day since the early '70s. Mick skilfully conveys stillness despite the subject matter being that of the the hustle of work and family life. In this exhibition the use repetitive sounds of slide projector challenges this tranquility. 

 

Split between two site- the Casement Arts Window and as a take-over of the Hop Projects Space. 

 

The  window display for Casement Arts saw images from this body of work digitally projected out from the Casement window. The stillness found in Mick's photography was accentuated by being projected on to busy street of Tontine Street. Whilst the occupation of the  Hop Projects Space with 10 slide projectors cast these images of halcyon memories at different heights and speeds that enveloped the viewer in a mechanical chorus of interchanging/revolving slides.
