This is a developing study, with a vision it will end with a pop-up exhibition at the centre of the underpass some time in March, on a date yet to be determined. The exhibition will be a combination of colour and monochrome prints. The colour images I already have and just need to be printed. The monochrome prints will be entirely new, and a mixture of images taken on a medium format camera and a large format camera.
Here are several images from Wednesday. Using an old Mamiya 7 rangefinder camera with a 65mm f4 lens, i photographed some of the fabric of the underpass with monochrome film.
Regarding the exhibition, I am hoping to be able to create some portraits of the people passing through; what is urban space without people? And there maybe some disposable cameras for people to photograph themselves or their friends or family. All will be contributions towards my degree, but I would also hope there would be some community benefit too. Maybe a further exhibition somewhere.
I will provide more details as the study unfolds. I will be putting some posters around Lawrence Hill Roundabout and Easton in the days ahead. Here is a draft version of the poster.
If anyone has any ideas, or suggestions or offers of help please contact me by email geoff@lawrencehillphotography.art or even a developing Insta yet to be finessed.
