Latitude 2012

I haven't posted in ages as been in the library for most of the year so far but now I am more or less free! I have just received the prints back from the disposable camera I took at Latitude Festival this year so I thought I would share a few...

The Painted House
In the Faraway Forest was, well, lots of exciting stuff to be honest! The thing I least expected had to be the Norwich and Norfolk Medieval Association who were in full costume and giving demonstrations of medieval music, armour, candle-making etc. The most magical part of the Faraway Forest had to be the Painted House, an immersive installation by Imogen Eveson and Samara Tompsett, inspired by the boudoir of Marie Antoinette. This became the fashion-hub of the festival with various workshops and dressing up with Rag and Bow Vintage!

Just Married
I really hope that Latitude Festival was their honeymoon...


Theme Park
The picture is terrible but I was glad to catch Theme Park at the lake stage.
For a better look, check out 'Milk' here:


One of the many theatre performances that take place all over the festival site. I have no idea what this was, I was just passing by, but it looked pretty good!


Back into the Faraway Forest 'searching for Boudica', an audio installation by Art Assembly. I am not sure if we found her, we kept getting distracted by all the other stuff that was going on.


The Kid's Area
I don't want to sound weird or anything, but seriously, the Kid's Area is probably the best part of Latitude. If it wasn't creepy for me to hang out in there I would be there half the time I was at Latitude! They have the best workshops and games, including wand-carving - geek attack!

View from the top of the Helter Skelter
 I may have gone into the Kid's Area to go on the Helter Skelter - I couldn't resist.

The inflatable lighthouse

Rock-balancing
Can't wait til next year!
