Fragmentary - Photography Workshop

Free Space Gallery is pleased to play host to this afternoon workshop with photographer Daniel Regan. Daniel uses his own experience of mental health in his work and will be exploring with participants how to use photography to track your mood and state of mind.

Daniel Regan is a photographer and visual artist whose work focuses on themes of mental health, the body, recovery and the patient/service user experience. His book project Insula documents a decade long struggle living with chronic mental health difficulties utilising diaristic photography as a tool for both recording and recovery. His recent project Fragmentary explors the differing experiences of living and observing crises by combining self portraiture with his own medical records. This work was completed as a residency at Kentish Town Health Centre with a large-scale installation of medical documents that confronted the viewer with the complexities of both being in and observing the chaos mental illness can bring.

All participants will need to bring their own cameras in any form.
