The project saw Stuart Roy Clarke turn his famous camera lens inside the homes of football fans watching Premier League fixtures as they supported their beloved teams from their living rooms during lockdown, captured during Prime Video’s 30 fixtures in December this 2020/21 season.

The exhibition marks a historic moment in football, as millions of fans moved from the terrace to the television to experience the agony and ecstasy of football support behind closed doors.

The Homes of Football brings to life the happiness, heartbreak and jubilation of football supporters across the 2020/21 season, with visitors able to scan QR codes to hear the stories behind each image as told by the families themselves.
