Crowd Theory is an ongoing series of photographic performance events exploring ideas of community and the nature of crowds. Each staging involves up to 400 people who are particular to the site of that production. For each event, a time and place has been specified and a group of people are assembled, but their specific actions on-site are left undirected and uncontrolled. Through this random orchestration of bodies in site-specific venues, Crowd Theory seeks to expand upon accepted definitions and perceptions of what it is that constitutes a ‘community’ and how this converges with the notion and implications of a ‘crowd’. The subsequent mural-sized photographs that remain as evidence of these encounters create a vision of what happens when large groups of people gather at sites of significance to themselves, how they choose to be represented within these locations and how in turn, these spaces potentially represent and define their inhabitants.
