Chinatown, London

2022

Familiar signs give London’s Chinatown its recognisable outlines. Colour passes between ornament and everyday use, drawing unexpected things into relation. Bodies interrupt the view and sometimes look back. These photographs stay with such encounters, allowing the familiar to become uncertain again, as the life of a place exceeds the image through which it is known.
