Urban Beings V / Poster
London, UK, 2021
by Francesco Russo
Nine Elms, South West London was once a bustling industrial area but is being rapidly transformed into a high density modern centre dotted by imposing high-rise developments. The contrast between the Victorian brick terraces and monumental new constructions is shot in quiet night scenes, which give a sense of the silent but relentless evolution of the neighbourhood. The lights of the construction sites reflect on the bare concrete structures, giving them an otherworldly quality and the sense that they could be extra-terrestrial objects, landing in and populating the riverside area between Vauxhall and Battersea.
