Video Installation
In our sporting culture we love to watch interviews of excited coaches, players, commentators talking about the sports world; the games, the techniques, and the players with passion and enthusiasm.
What if we could capture the passion that people feel about the natural world?
In a series of vox-pop video interviews, everyday people on the street share their wonder, amazement and love of the natural world. The images show how the inspiration of nature touches everyone, everywhere, on all kinds of levels.
