About the Ebook
Inspired by Ed Ruscha's small printed books, this ebook is an exploration of just how many things you can see in an exam venue without getting up. It's also an acknowledgment of 'exam season' where thousands of students across the UK will be sitting GCSEs and A levels.
Each of these photographs was taken at the end of a school day, where the empty room had been filled earlier with students sitting an exam. All of the pictures were taken from the same chair, looking at as many different angles as possible whilst sitting down.
The initial concept of these photographs was purely visual, however as I performed its realisation I wondered how many students had sat in this room, what their experiences were and what emotions they had felt. Anxiety, fear, relief, joy, hope, boredom, frustration, anticipation? The empty room seemed emotionally charged. I hope that the viewer will themselves experience some of these resonances as they interpret the pictures within the book.
Finally, for all those students who finish with time to spare and aren't permitted to leave the room - here's something to do to keep you occupied - but please remember to keep facing the front and not to disturb anyone else in the room!
