Made in Brighton and Hove in 2010 for the Brighton Photo Biennial, curated by Martin Parr. Stephen Gill scooped up objects and creatures from the streets and beaches — seaweed, local plants, a false eyelash, a jelly bear, fishtails, insects crawling across the film emulsion — and introduced them into the body of his camera before shooting, so the images are in-camera photograms in which conflict or harmony formed at random. He also concentrated the Brighton sunlight through a magnifying glass to etch markings into negatives, and dipped some negatives in the sea; the result is a series of surreal montages of the seaside town.
