Scottish photographer Jane Stockdale has taken a new approach to the recent 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and to spectator sports and events in general. Rather than focusing on the event in question along with countless other film-makers, fans and photographers, Stockdale turns her lens on the spectators themselves. After having been turned down three times to shoot the Commonwealth Games in her native Glasgow, Stockdale seized the initiative and jumped on a plane to Brazil where she created Watching the World Cup
From A&E Rooms to arenas, farms to favelas, Stockdale traversed Brazil in order to spend a match with as many strata of Brazilian society as possible. She shows us young soldiers armed to the teeth, old women and gang-members, all of them transfixed by the football World Cup on the screen out of our sight.
Read Jane Stockdale’s interview with It’s Nice That to hear about what it was like creating this remarkable project.
