HLH: Crystal Farmers Video.

2011-04-21T11:36:00.002+01:00

A couple of months ago i shot stills for Harald Lunde Helgesen’s Crystal farmers video. The video is finally finished and the finished product is above...

The Crystal Farmers film is an extension of Harald Lunde Helgesen’s recent collection by the same name. The film is the second collaboration between Harald and filmmaker Jason Bradbury with an original score by Siri Schippers Skaar.

The film is set in a fictional world where subterranean farmers take great risks when entering deep caves in order to reach crystal fields where they harvest precious minerals to be traded in the nearby city. As one man is lost to the mines another has to step into the darkness. Son follows father and the cycle continues. We meet a young man just at the initiation into this life of hardship.

The Crystal Farmers was intended to take a more abstract approach to a fashion film; both Harald and Jason have no interest in fashion film that is an extension of a catwalk show or a moving photo-shoot. They work to the belief that film is at it’s most powerful when used to tell a narrative or create a mood, however abstractly that may be done.

My stills from the project can be found HERE

In November 2009 I was lucky enough to be asked to come and take some snaps on the set of Brighton Rock. The film is an adaptation of Graham Greene's classic 1938 novel, set in 1960's Brighton at the height of mods and rockers madness on the south coast. Some of my photos featured in last weekends Telegraph Magazine (above). The film is out today (the 4th of February) and is well worth a watch.

Harald Lunde Helgesen - Crystal Farmers

2010-09-11T19:20:00.008+01:00

It takes days to get from the smuggler city to the wind-blasted mountains where the crystal farmers dwell near a huge network of mineshafts. Down below, it gets hotter and the pressure rises. It is hazardous to reach the luminescent fields of crystal in the deepest caves. The farmers harvest the precious raw material: this is all they have to trade.

Their subterranean work clothes show the influence of both local village culture and the distant metropolis. The inner layer is homemade high-tech—tight and elastic, suitable for swimming through flooded tunnels or squeezing through crevices. The middle layer was once bright urban denim brought back from the markets. But the original sheen has slowly faded away to the dull, worn-out texture of the everyday. A handcrafted, coat completes the outfit. As they descend, the farmers leave the outer garments behind to collect on the way back. But sometimes one never returns. If his coat is found it becomes an heirloom.

In his new collection Harald Lunde Helgesen, 2009 winner of the Crystallized Swarovski Elements Prize, imagines a hidden story of danger and endurance expressed in rough but intricate clothing that fuses functionality and tradition.

Itokawa is an Apollo and Mars-crosser Asteroid. It was the first asteroid to be the target of a sample return mission, the Japanese space probe Hayabusa. The asteroid was discovered in 1998 by the LINEAR project, and given the provisional designation 1998 SF₃₆. It's also a T-Shirt company started by my mate Jim. He has CMYK screen printed one of my photos on to his T-Shirts. This one and more available soon...

Heygate Estate was completed in 1974. It is located in the London Borough of Southwark. The estate was once a prestigious place to live, but now has a reputation for crime, poverty and dilapidation. It has been described by planners and estate agents as London’s "Lost Quarter". It is now undergoing one of the largest regeneration schemes in Europe and will be demolished in the next year. A thousand new homes will be built, and the Estate’s notorious walkways will be replaced by green boulevards. There are currently only around 300 residents left on the estate, all facing eviction, who now feel abandoned.
