To construct a contemporary photographic document of Hastings, Tom Hunter has collaborated with drivers from a local taxi firm, whilst referencing the collection of Hastings Museum & Gallery.
The taxi drivers, who represent the diverse community of Hastings, were invited by Hunter to choose their favourite locations in the area, to be photographed at either dusk or dawn during the periods known as the ‘golden hour’ and the ‘blue hour’. In this way, Hunter pays tribute to Turner and the many other artists that have worked here, inspired by the natural landscape and incredible light conditions.
