Eight Days (2011)
Just as pilgrims flock together at holy places, where they meet one another and forge bonds, the festival calender brings together large groups of young people. During festivals, Venetia Dearden says, young people find their ‘tribe’ or ‘community’. EIGHT DAYS is the result of a personal journey that the photographer undertook in 2010 with a group of her friends, during a road trip through California and Nevada. They entered an ‘alternative reality, far from the well-ordered everyday world’.
