Many thanks to Pete for this startling performance, it was perfect for the show.
In an ideal world this would have been filmed by a pro with a HD camcorder on a tripod. We used a point and shoot digital camera held by a man on a window ledge who needed the toilet.

We’re really pleased to add Gareth Brookes to the the list of artists exhibiting in Legends of Circumstance at the Bargate Monument Gallery in Southampton.
Gareth makes comics and we’ve been fans of his work for a long time. We’ll be including his genius ‘Can I Borrow Your Toilet’ and ‘The Smell of the Wild’ comics for your reading pleasure in the show. He’ll also be setting up shop at the Private View on the 12th of February, so bring along your pennies, meet the man himself and bag yourself a bargain.

The Bargate Monument Gallery is run by a space, an arts organisation that supports emerging artistic talent and enables the development of sustainable careers within the arts. The gallery is set in a 800-year-old monument standing in the heart of Southampton’s city centre. The Bargate was originally built as the main gateway to the medieval city and has held a number of important positions throughout its history. These include being the city’s guildhall (until the 1770’s) and the police headquarters during WW2 . It is now a fully functioning exhibition space in which we will be hanging Legends of Circumstance!
