The World Within - PBF05 / Philip Hatcher-Moore
21 January - 27 March 2021
Finding himself locked down at home with his son and wife, who is pregnant with their second child, Philip Hatcher-Moore decided to document their three months together.
His world, in which so much time is usually spent on the road, suddenly shrank, leaving him perched on a hillside in the north of Wales. The surrounding countryside became an opening, somewhere to explore with his wife and son. In doing so, he became aware of the importance of the natural world: trees, fresh air, and physical exertion. The difficulties caused by a loss of earnings are replaced by the freedom of being able to move around and get to know himself again. The microcosm of his house, between laughter and tears, examines his way of working, consuming, travelling, and living together. How will our relationship with the earth shape society? One thing is for certain; for Philip Hatcher-Moore, nature is the pathway to healing.
