Mothman at the tate

News : 20th-25th May 2008 . Mothman at theTATE written by Ann Partington
Artists Tony Knox and Anna McDade together with actor Kevin Thomas had a fortunate encounter whilst participating in a treasure hunt in Liverpool. Looking for clues, they came across a golden figure crouching on the floor. Approaching the figure, now gazing in their direction, it deftly darted towards the steps on Water Street. Settling in a squat-like position against the backdrop of the huge green door - Knox excalimed ”its Mothman”. Mothman crouched motionless with it piercing and intent stare upon them as the three started to photograph it. With the screech of halting traffic, the faces on a passing bus drew closer to
the windows.
The nomadic Mothman arbitarily presents itself in various locations throughout the world - its last previous sighting being in Cyprus it has now presented itself in Liverpool.
Shoot Experience celebrated the Tate Liverpool birthday in style with great events on the first sunny weekend of the year!

The theme of the day was SENSES Clues led participants on a photographic treasure hunt through the streets of Liverpool in teams of two to four to discover the wonders of the City through the intrinsic sights, sounds, taste and smells of the City.
