How to be like a Weegee Photograph

‘A+PAUL’

Featuring Adam Goodge

From an original idea by Adam Goodge

A series of devised interventions into the city at night, performed for the camera and witnessed ‘en passant’ by its citizens and invited guests. Each intervention is stimulated by a Weegee photograph and is a direct attempt to provide a contemporary critique through performed enactments, of Weegee’s lyrical, humorous and ultimately ‘Goya-esque’ vision of the edge of reason.

The attempts to be ‘like a Weegee photograph’ culminate in Paul Jeff being tattooed on the arm with the ‘Weegee The Famous’ stamp which promoted his myth on the back of every image.
