In March 2014, my family and I moved from east London to rural south Sweden where my partner Lena is from. I understood that these new surroundings would inform my work in very different ways and that nature would play a key role. I was looking forward to making work that did not feel restricted and suffocated by modern photographic technology nor would make an inaccurate projected impression of the natural landscape we had become part of. On my many walks, I soon came to realise that this new, apparently bleak, flat and open landscape was in fact teeming with intense life.Small clues appeared during daylight hours that helped me understand the extent of activity during the night. Envisaging where this activity might unfold, coupled with a hopeful foresight, I placed cameras equipped with motion sensors, to trees, mostly at a low level, so that any movement triggered the camera shutter and an infra-red flash (which was outside the animals' visual spectrum). "Night Procession" contains inserted 16 page saddle stitched booklet with accompanying essay by Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård.
