Big Daft Heads

Theatre Porto

As part of this post-Covid project, we worked outdoors in Whitby Park with a group of young people to create a series of oversized, ridiculous headpieces. These became the starting point for a playful photography project. I wanted to give a nod to some of the cliches of how young people are often represented in the media and advertising, but with big daft heads on!

The aim was to be humorous and imaginative, allowing young people to occupy public space in friendly and unexpected ways. The result was a joyful mix of parody, performance and visual disruption.
