Not Just Us
A digital exploration by Graham Fudger – FREE event (funded by Arts Council England).
Not Just Us is a one-day digital exhibition referencing the awe and wonder of colour in the natural world as seen through numerous eyes. Contemporary artist Graham Fudger presents a series of 60-second video works created from scenes and details recorded at a dozen locations over the summer.
Each video is assembled from multiple stills using the artist’s transitional hue process in Photoshop, designed to suggest how a range of species – including our own – might visually perceive the nature-space.
The Exhibition
Visitors can expect an immersive visual experience featuring a series of short digital films exploring how colour appears across the natural world. The videos are displayed on large screens, with layered still imagery that shifts through a spectrum of hues—inviting viewers to consider how different species might see the same environment. The space is designed to enhance colour and light, offering a contemplative and visually rich encounter with the natural world through a digital lens.
Virtual Reality Experience
The exhibition also includes a VR component that offers a glimpse into how insects and other creatures may experience light and colour. Visitors can explore this through a headset provided by the artist, with additional viewing options available if supported by the venue.
Artist In Attendance
Graham Fudger will be present throughout the event to meet visitors, answer questions, and support the experience. A member of the site team may also be on hand to help guide engagement.
Supported by Arts Council England
Not Just Us, including its exhibitions, workshops and talks, is supported with public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
