The Landscape is a site-specific photo installation, forming part of the on-going public art project Time stands still when I think of you. The project derives from an archive of over 100 found family photos, the earliest of which dates from the turn of the nineteenth century.

Whilst previous installations from the project have focused on specific events or familial relationships, for Patio Projects #10 the wall of the patio space is transformed into a photographic montage of landscapes. The relationship between the environments depicted in the photographs, and how they intercept with the urban landscape of Hackney Downs, is central to the piece, the proximity of one affecting the reading of the other.

The World in London - installation shots

Installation shots of The World in London at Victoria Park. 

Last year I was commissioned by The Photographers' Gallery to take a portrait for The World in London - a large-scale, public art project which set out to bring together 204 portraits of 204 Londoners, each originating from a different nation that will be competing at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Click here to see my portrait of Tigana Wesa Sari from Indonesia, and to hear her story.

The portraits are exhibited as large-scale posters at the following two sites across London:

Victoria Park, London E3: 27 July - 12 August 2012

Enter by Crown Gate East, walk in a north easterly direction down Central Drive towards the bandstand and monument- the exhibition is on the hoardings around the Live Nation Site.
Park House, 453 - 497 Oxford Street, London, W1: 27 July - 30 August 2012

Opposite Selfridges
