BRIXTON WEEDS: Nanoscapes of Resistance (2006)
Brixton Weeds is a search for new landscapes, parallel universes within the mundane. It is an invitation to reconsider our relationship to the space we inhabit, and to involve ourselves deeply with even the most banal, the unwanted, the disregarded.
In the controlled environment of the city, weeds represent impurity and disorder, the wild. They are despised as nature out of place. Re-appropriating the streets in spontaneous, creative ways, weeds evidence the resilience of a life that cannot be stopped by concrete.
