‘the channel’

‘mind the gap’

Pie Factory, Margate 2024

dogugaeshi 
is a Japanese tradition that uses moving frames as puppets.
The images are gathered from the internet and give glimpses of  
a child trapped in a war zone, a child of a politician and a child seeking refuge.
The proximity of placing asks the question:
“How would you feel if your child was suffering?”
