Description

At night, a once flat world illuminated by dull, grey daylight is transformed under the cloak of darkness. Garish spotlighting casts deep shadows and silhouettes, with hues of pink, cyan and orange. The stage is devoid of its human players and seems to showcase the scenery's forgotten beauty, revealing a stark and otherworldly aesthetic in a city missing its occupants. The built environment, deliberately contrived to service the needs and desires of humanity, makes sense in the context of teeming human life - without this however, its inherent functionality no longer visible, our urban spaces appeared to stand forlorn, waiting to be judged on their genius or folly, beauty or ugliness. This book presents a series of photographs depicting London at night.
