Description
Black-and-white close-ups of Londoners in the 1980s reveal the stark contrasts between the city's affluent elite and its working-class communities. Photographer Paul Trevor has spent over 25 years documenting the East End, capturing the social divide that persists to this day.
Shot spontaneously on the streets of east London between 1977 and 1992, these images are a powerful commentary on the polarized debate between market forces and community values. Provoked by Thatcherism, Trevor's work remains as relevant now as it was back then.
The resulting photographs are a poignant reminder of the enduring social and economic divisions that shape our society. This book presents a unique and thought-provoking collection of images that invite us to reflect on the world around us.
