The awkward bit

What needed to change.

The physical portraits and interviews could only reach people who were standing in the cathedral.

A phone-friendly exhibition where visitors can scan, listen, read and move through every story at their own pace.

The result

Twenty personal stories can now travel beyond the cathedral walls while keeping each person at the centre.

How it works

Simple on the surface. Thought through underneath.

  1. 01

    Each portrait connects photography, a written story and long-form audio.

  2. 02

    The restrained interface gives the people and their words the visual weight.

  3. 03

    The experience works in the exhibition and continues to work for visitors afterwards.
