VIDEO artists from South East London,
Close and Remote (Sophie Mellor and Simon Poulter), are on Merseyside filming:-
"Lost Characters" which is an art project commissioned by Sefton
MBC and supported by Arts Council - England, along with the Heritage Lottery
Fund. "The project is aimed at exploring the fascinating photographic
archive housed at Crosby Library. We are trying to find Lost Characters within
the archive and bring them back to life. One of Frank Hampson's works was a set
of Lost Characters. Another is the story of hermit Jack Johnson, plus Rev.
Marcus Morris's who created The Eagle comic." said Sophie and Simon.
Close and Remote have been working with a range of different community groups,
to both investigate the current archive and produce new historical material. The
groups they have worked with so far are Creative Alternatives, Sefton Carers,
Southport College, Starbooks, Graphic Novel Reading Group, Age Concern and
Positive Futures. More about the groups work on this project can be found
via this
link, also you can follow them on
Facebook. So far the group have been
spotted filming in:- Sandhills, Ainsdale Beach, Wayfarers Arcade, Southport,
Marcus Morris's former parish in Birkdale, plus locations in Bootle.
