You are here: Chester > Chester Designed by Nature: Spring Blooms > Shop Front. Night Camera. Animal.
Truly bringing nature to the heart of the city, this digital video installation sees Cheshire’s nocturnal wildlife scurry, wander, rummage and gnaw through Chester’s shopfronts. A collaboration with Cheshire Wildlife Trust, the work offers glimpses of foxes, badgers, mice, hedgehogs, deer and beavers. Their glowing eyes look out from shop windows, bringing us face to face with a secret, natural world.
Artist Jack Brown is a contemporary visual artist working with (and in the spaces between) sculpture, painting, response to site, print, public action, drawing, photography and video. His work looks at the overlooked, things that should be given more than a passing glance, moments that would benefit from magnification.
