GILES PRICE – E20 12: UNDER CONSTRUCTION
2012-08-20E2012 Under Construction is a documentary project by Giles Price. It combines large format and minutely detailed aerial landscapes with arresting portraits of the workforce taken during the construction of the 2012 Olympic Park.
The aerial pictures push the boundaries of the visual language of satellite imaging, such as Google Earth. These photographs, produced with the aid of the latest camera technology, allow the viewer to experience a new way of seeing the construction of the Olympic Park with stunning detail and beauty. They reveal a previously invisible perspective on the intricacy of the landscape and the overwhelming scale of its transformation. Conversely, the pictures of workers show us the unseen human face of those involved in the construction of the site. These engaging portraits add a personal dimension to the depiction of the transformation, and offer a glimpse into the hidden stories of the Olympic Park.
A book with 48 pages of full, colour, images from the project, also entitled E20 12: Under Construction, will be available from August 31st via www.seestudio.com
Exhibition runs through till September 9th, 2012
