‘Nothing to be Frightened of’ by Ed Haslam

Ed is a visual artist who works across many mediums. He collaborated on the giant interactive pods in the woods year before last and co-founded Platform Projects in 2016 which runs a gallery and residency program at Platform Southwark where the Brainchild office used to be based.

Nothing to be Frightened of is an installation that responds to recent personal experiences of grief. The work is a meditation on time and mortality, whereby each reflective flag symbolises a moon cycle he will live through until his life expectancy is up. The flags occupy the space in the boundary of the woodland, addressing the fear of what’s beyond, whilst questioning whether it needs to be feared at all.
