SECRETGROUNDSMAN

Secretgroundsman projects are centred around the interelation between football and the city. Focusing on ideas of scatterd sites, unused/non-space and the impermanence of cities. Working directly in/with spaces in the city and researching through a non-linear network of diagrams--google earth--photography--video--walking--cycling-- PLAYING FOOTBALL.
