Photoworks are partnering FotoDocument and BioRegional to commission ten public space photo essays launching during Brighton Photo Biennial 2014 and to remain in situ for ten months.
Each of the ten essays will be themed on one of the principles of One Planet Living and works will be installed in a corresponding key public space in Brighton & Hove.
- Zero Waste – Waste House, University of Brighton (tbc)
- Sustainable Transport – Brighton Railway Station
- Sustainable Materials – Emmaus, Portslade
- Local and Sustainable Food – Open Market, London Rd

- Land Use and Wildlife – Foredown Tower
- Culture and Community – Dome, Café-Bar
- Equity and Local Economy – The Amex Community Football Stadium (tbc)

The exhibitions will collectively form an ‘arts story trail’ around the city and be accompanied by a map and literature to illustrate the route and significance.
