About

People, place and things are at the core of our individual and shared practices. Still/Moving is a platform for creative activities and projects to develop. Still/Moving was originally set up for workshops and in-conversations with internationally acclaimed artists and incorporated as an artist collective, Still/Moving Projects CIC in 2019. Still/Moving is composed of three artists, Laura Hopes, Martin Hampton and Léonie Hampton, who met when they were 13. Living in Devon, UK, their collective practice aims to create social and ecological change through questioning established modes of thinking and behaviour. Projects are developed through a process of collaborative and participatory dialogue and activity among each other and with partner communities. Inspired by the artist Louise Bourgeois who said ‘It is not about the medium, it is about what you are trying to say’, their work emerges in diverse forms, including sculpture, film, photography, performance, installation, the spoken and printed word. Léonie has an internationally acclaimed art practice. She studied Art history, specialising in contemporary European and American art, and is an Associate Lecturer in MA Photography at University of the Arts London (UAL- LCC) London. Martin is an award-winning filmmaker who co-founded Squint/Opera with architect Will Alsop. He studied Architecture at The Bartlett, UCL, specialising in speculative designs for extreme locations such as the moon and intertidal zones. Laura is an artist and post-doctoral researcher whose PhD project focused upon the relationship between climate change and colonisation.
