FAKE FISHERMEN

‘Fake Fishermen’ 

2004

Kingfisher Farm, Dorking, Surrey.

Fake Fishermen was a site specific, performance based installation that evolved from an original response to the Broadwater Lake proposal in December 2003, at the invitation of the Farnham Library Gardens Project.

8.30am Saturday 8^th May 2004 - Twelve fake fishermen sit with hazel rods on the banks of the pond, dressed in red hooded capes, and become part of an aerial artwork - documented with a high level aerial camera, digital film and ground level photography.

The performance lasted two hours, and was a collaboration of many people from wide ranging disciplines, coming together to make art.
