Artist Attempting To Photograph Everyone In Bristol

We Are One

Artist and photographer Colin Moody is attempting to photograph every single person in Bristol in order to create one composite portrait. Indeed, that is near impossible so he will be photographing 1% of the population, from all areas, to do this.

Colin’s ambitious project is a reaction to world events, with the aim of doing something positive about unity at a time when news across the globe is about divisions.

“Events are creating incredible tensions and anxieties, I want to create art that at once can show how much we have in common as well as celebrate our amazing diversity,” Colin says.

“I’ve taken the eyes as an anchor for these images. Gateway to the soul, and for me the very thing needed to lock the idea into place. Look everyone in the eye all at once and see how much in common we have”.

The more faces that are added to the project the more pronounced the eyes become. The rest of the face becomes a blend of head shapes, hair styles and skin tones.

“Many groups in the media, bands, artists collectives and more have already come forward to be part of this project and it’s only going to work if I can reach into all areas of Bristol. To all of our citizens.”
