Latitude Photographers is a group of international, emerging artists working in London.  We have developed out of a cooperative response to debates within contemporary photography. Defined by experimental enquiry, we are concerned with personal aesthetics and artistic intentions. The ethos of Latitude is to incorporate differences in approach while retaining the feel of a group response.

I always knew you’d come back.... is a collective work, produced in response to the notion of the relationship between cinema and photography.  We were particularly interested in the cinematic cliché, in the effects of the audience interaction on a continuously evolving resolution of the work, and in a consideration of the boundaries between individual and collective authorship of work.  

Each of Latitude photographers produced few images in response to a title of a non existing film, I always knew you’d come back.....  The photographs were presented in a small box, next to a wall-mounted shelf holding a small edit of the images. The viewer was asked to explore his own oblique narrative within the work and encouraged to change and construct sequential edits of the works on the shelf.  Their choices were documented photographically and through audio recordings of them talking about their edits.

The results are the three short films that will be seen at Latitude Festival 2009.
