The Scene Project Place: around the World. Creator : Jennifer Caroline Ellis Team : Ambar-Maya Johnsson Publication : Quaterly Basis. Out now : Autumn/Winter Collection 10-11
Jennifer Caroline Ellis, La Chât 2006, graduated from Law at King's College London and entered directly into part II of the History of Art Tripos at Cambridge.
Since last year, she have been developing The Scene Project, a photography website that collects and curates scenes from around the world by artists around the world featuring work from Lebanon, the USA, Switzerland and Syria, to name but a few countries.
The idea behind The Scene Project is very much tied in with her Geneva upbringing and being surrounded by different cultures. I sense that through photography, one can gain a lot of understanding about how other people in the world live. The Scene Project has also been greatly assisted by Ambar-Maya Johnsson (also a La Chât alumna) and features work by several EIG alumni: Johan Jakbosson, David Lazarus as well as Ambar-Maya Johnsson and myself.
More information about the project: The Scene Project is the first website to publically share photographs
of exclusive scenes around the world. A rapidly expanding project, the
website has quadrupled it’s fan base in less than a week, and has
attracted artists from New York, Geneva, Paris, Edinburgh, Cambridge, California, Singapore and Colombia. The Scene Project’s goal is
simple and interesting : to create a zone where artists around the world
can show scenes of life that they have experienced. The photographs
submitted are of a high standard and have been acclaimed to be « highly
sensitive and realistic ». The Scene Project also places a high standard
on presentation and has been described as having a « beautiful »
website. The Scene Project is a collection of online photographs that
stimulate an experience. By a simple click, no matter where you are in
the world, you can learn about another culture or understand to a
greater degree your own. Whether at home, at school, or at work, The
Scene Project allows you to travel, and urges you to explore another
corner of the earth.
