A Pound A Day
Lead Artist:
Jamie Fletcher
Dates:
27/04/2007 - 28/04/2007
If you had only a pound a day to spend, how would you choose to spend it?
How much of your day would be spent making that decision?
Live artist Jamie Fletcher put this to the test in extreme conditions. He abandoned his home and spent a week from the 26th March to 1st April on the streets of Manchester with just £1 a day. Drawing on his experiences from his week of research Jamie presented A Pound a Day at Method Lab.
Not a piece about homelessness, rather, Jamie exploring what it means to scale back our possessions, how the mind works when it is not inundated with shopping decisions and thoughts of material gain, and whether we can rely on the kindness of others to see us through.
