Bringing together the projects: The Circle & Worthing: A Portrait of a Town.
This exhibition brings together two photographers who are involved in looking at and documenting the ideas of home. Barry Falk’s project looks at his family’s connection to an are in Northwest London called Belmont Circle, and Paul Kemp’s work documents different aspects of Worthing. Both photographers seek to explore time and place by looking at personal history, memory of home, present, manifestation of place, and with a sense of things in time and how present time would look like as the past.
Paul Kemp
Paul Kemp’s work grew from a push to connect with his new home of Worthing. Using his camera as a visual device, he set out to explore and discover his local surroundings. Paul has traversed the area, seeking to capture the infinite details of place and the particular features that makes Worthing.

Barry Falk
Barry Falk’s work begins with a return to his hometown of Belmont Circle, Northwest London, after a forty-year gap, to explore his memory of the area. His return trips have involved walking familiar yet unfamiliar streets and venturing into the local woods where he spent a great deal of his childhood. He seeks to capture a sense of the unheimliche: where home has become uncanny and time truncated.
