Now We Know: Chopwell Harstad Rhine-Neckar

Over the last few years we have met some amazing people while working on 3 WOODS with communities in Norway, Germany, and the UK. Our friend Clive Davis in the UK has come back to art in the last few years, creating dozens of new works in video, performance, photography and participation. We wanted to share one project in particular—‘Now We Know: Chopwell Harstad Rhine-Neckar’—a project Clive made with 26 people from the 3 WOODS network. 

People from England, Norway and Germany took part. Clive randomly paired them up, then asked one person to take a photo and the other to describe what they saw – at the same time on the same day and in the same direction. So, while on person was describing, the other person who they were paired with was taking a photograph. This process was repeated, but the other way around of course. Here are a couple of the slides - see the rest on Clive’s website.
