Mutiny Collective
Mutiny is a photography collective founded in 2024 by Barney Jobson, Joshua Corston and Ethan Bennett. All three artists are currently based in Portsmouth. Having all previously featured in Portsmouth’s Photo-Fringe “Our Portsmouth” (Oct.24); Source Magazines Graduate Showcase (Jul.24) and Free Range London (Jun.24), Mutiny are excited to undertake their first residency with Aspex Portsmouth.
Barney Jobson is a Landscape Photographer, working with Analogue Techniques to document the timeless suburban landscape. He works largely with black and white film to capture both industrial and rural spaces, capturing the human presence without the human present.
Josh Corston’s work centers around a combination of documentary and street photography. Cortson explores the relationship between nature and urban spaces while also commenting on the modern condition. Previous work has focused on documenting the use of phones in order to critique a collective addiction to social media.
Ethan Bennett is a contemporary lens-based visual artist, working across both photography and moving images. His work largely focuses on creating projects that explore the sensation of sensory overload and the nature of mental health in male youths.
During the residency at Aspex, the collective will explore and examine themes of ‘place’ in and around the Portsmouth area; mapping different areas of the city and considering how to document and interpret locality. The collective are eager to contribute to the ever-evolving archive of Portsmouth photography through the work created during this residency.
