EREHWON / ORWO UK

James Holcombe makes films and performances which collide his knowledge of celluloid and it's coming into being with a healthy disregard for any means by which it does so.

Most recently he has found this a useful prism through which to view English public executions, as well as the development and failure of American sound on film technology.

James runs the erehwon lab in Frome in Somerset, and imports ORWO film from Germany to the UK. @erehwon_film / @orwo_uk
