5 Ways video by Tom Gidley Inhabitants was filmed in the area where the clothes and the 5 Ways projects originated – Brick Lane, London. I chose locations that related to the garments and to the thinking behind them. These places also have a powerful sense of dislocation, public spaces that have seen so much change and adaptation and are now waiting for yet more. I wanted to make a portrait both of the location and the model placed within it. The resulting images are jarring but also strangely harmonious – each girl seems out of place yet also at ease with her surroundings. Caught in her own thoughts, but in locations that appear alien and other-worldy but utterly familiar. The theme of transition that runs through all the 5 Ways projects is used in Inhabitants metaphorically; we're all waiting for change even as it is happening, with or without our knowledge or active participation. Tom Gidley (born in Birmingham, 1968) is an artist and writer who lives and works in London. He was a founder member of frieze magazine and has exhibited widely over the last ten years.
