Abstract

City Reflections was a collaboration between Southampton Forward, Southampton Solent University, DoubleTake Studios and Light Up Trails, focused on photographing and interviewing up to 50 "community legends" nominated by Southampton residents. This large-scale community project culminated in an outdoor exhibition, featuring the stills and video footage in a 10-minute looping projection displayed across the entire length and height of Southampton's West Quay Wall over 11 nights, from February 15 to 23, 2025. The final presentation was an immersive visual experience, blending community stories with advanced projection mapping techniques.

The project was led by Kate Jackman (Southampton Forward), with Dr. Stuart Joy (Southampton Solent University) and Nina Sverdvik (Southampton Solent University) serving as creative consultants and production coordinators, overseeing the project’s logistics such as student support, facility use, and funding.

This collaboration provided an excellent opportunity for Solent University students to gain practical experience in filmmaking and photography while contributing to a significant community project.
