Photomonth photography festival celebrates photography in all in forms throughout East London in the month of October. In addition to exhibitions, talks and workshops, photomonth will screen films by photographers who are working in both mediums and take their art to the big screen. Every screening will be followed by in conversations with the film directors and producers and Tom Hunter from Photomonth. Wayfaring Stranger charts the life of an itinerant character, embodied by seven per formers, across seven days, representing seven decades. Running from the city, through post-industrial edge lands and manicured enclaves, they find themselves in forests, farms, mountains and the shore. Along the way, they undergo a transformation, through the seasons and changing geography, both physically and emotionally, from youth to elderhood, and from a single, alienated being into an accepted element of the wider world. Each ‘day ’ is a ‘station’ that signifies a turning point in a character’s emotional development : from escape, through loss, grief and waywardness, to solidarity and co-existence.
