By pure chance and almost by the same time we had arrived, we met local artist Metthew Jiffey in Brighton, who was curious about our strange vehicle and starting to talk about Brightins vivd art scene. We shortly introduced him to our project and were more than happy when he showed his interest to take part as well as to set up a meeting with some other local artists for us.
He welcomed us to visit his studio and living space, where he played a traditional song for us on his fiddle and where we could have a look at his paintings and drawings. We became interested in his series of base colours, showing curved shapes, that seemed to communicate with one another (obviously in an abstract way). We then decided to improvise on a film scene, which would combine both his fiddle play and his art. Therefore we were setting up a mini silkscreen workshop for Metthew Jiffey.
The idea was to put his art into urban space and set up a performance.
