The Continuous Picnic
Currently showing at the exhibition London Yields, Building Store, London is a documentary I made about the the Continuous Picnic, organised in 2008 By Katrin Bohn and Andre Viljoen, for the London Festival of Architecture.
For one day, a designated area in one of the most beautiful parts of central London will transform into a continuous picnic of infinite personal encounters and fresh food events. Located on Montague Place (closed for traffic on that day) and Russell Square, this is a free outdoor event for everybody to celebrate good food and company.
The day will kick off at 10am with an “Inverted Market”, when any member of the public can bring locally produced fruit and vegetables to Montague Place where it will be included in a 120-metre long Fresh Food market installation.
The idea of the Picnic is to bring locally produced fruit and vegetables (either self-grown or bought from local growers) to the “Inverted Market”, which shows how far the food had travelled to get to Camden.
