Hippo Campus

2010
Williams, Bedwyr
'Hippo Campus' is a self portrait of the artist as a young boy asleep on a school bus trip in France, adapted from a photograph taken by a young girl making fun of him. The work is black and white, with a landscape (and the past) whizzing beside him. This treated image captures an uncanny moment of the artist, looking from the present, at a dreaming, unconscious boy with his future ahead of him.
