Discoverer's Alliance

A collaboration with photographer Benedict Morgan. The series is a mockumentary of the Discoverer's Alliance, a fictional society devoted to the exploration of sea and space. Together Benedict and Owen created a series of nine images that explore this society's offices and archives, through miniature handcrafted sets made from a large range of materials, including paper, expanding foam, cotton wool and various types of foods including noodles, pasta and even Twiglets. 

The images were exhibited alongside a selection of the props at Downstairs at Mother, London in June 2015.
