an outside space

‘an outside space’ is an experimental documentary film by Sophie Stone in collaboration with Chloe Collins, Mei Joan Guyll, Lisa Harfleet, Heather Lewis and Karen Saunders for Ideas Test’s You Me Us project (April-June 2021).

Together, they documented their experiences of the outdoors over the duration of the project during COVID-19 restrictions, through painting, photography, videography, and writing. Sophie Stone created a film with the participants, which shares their experiences through layering, resulting in beautiful audio and visual coincidences where the creations and experiences meet.

In addition to the film, there is an archive of all the creations for ‘an outside space’ by You Me Us and You Me Us Lite participants: https://www.sophiestonecomposer.com/youmeusoutside
