ATLANTUS – JERSEY TO NEW JERSEY

Atlantus is a project that Mr.Toft has been working on for the past few years along side Gareth syvret. The project is based around the archisle: The Jersey Contemporary Photography Program at the Société Jersiaise where they have embarked on a major creative research project using the Photo-archive as a vector in exploring historical and cultural links between Jersey and New Jersey.

This project is inspired partly by the 350th anniversary, in 2014, of the founding of the State of New Jersey, USA in 1664 by Jerseyman, Sir George de Carteret. As part of this project Mr.Toft will be producing new work both in (old) Jersey and New Jersey, exploring both places unique cultures, histories, identities and geographies. Immediate plans is to design a pop-up exhibition in New Jersey to coincide with major celebrations across the state throughout the summer. The long term objectives of this 4-5 year project are to make exhibitions, publications and establish contemporary photographic archives in Jersey and New Jersey.
