Living in a capital city like London can sever its citizen from the contact with the countryside and the way of life lived in the rest of the country. This separation can occur on different levels; a distance from family and community, a separation from the food source and a separation from wilderness and the outdoors.
In this project I want to reintroduce these elements into the city dweller life. In a full on experience I want to re-introduce the countryside, its history, legends, food, arts and craft to the people living in the capital. And I want to use photography, the outdoors and a mini bus as a tool.
The road trip will take my guest on a journey from the centre of the capital trough the country roads to the next smaller city. From the city to the village and from the village to the forest. Living at any step the change in accommodation, way of travel, environment and food, I intend to bring the guest back to that simple yet fulfilling way of life. With this attempt I hope to achieve an experience that will uplift, relax and inform the participants of a more conscious and sustainable way of life.
