OPEN CALL: DIY SWIMMING HOME
DIY Swimming Home is a photographic project born almost by chance during the 2020 lockdown. The artist Silvia Mercuriali invited people to send a picture of themselves as if 'swimming' in their own bath or shower.
During the K+C Festival, DIY Swimming Home becomes a Public Art Piece to celebrate the community of Kensington and Chelsea. We invite you to submit your own picture as a swimmer in your own bathroom or anywhere where you feel like a swimmer in your own home. Please wear your full swimming gear and let your creativity do the rest.
All the submitted pictures will be part of the online gallery DIY SWIMMING HOME. Some of the pictures to be featured on a giant billboard on the side of the river during the duration of the festival as well as the audio snippets which will become part of a short audio portrait piece, associated with each picture.
