Description
London's core has been transformed into a hub of high-end development, with luxury residential towers and glittering new high rises. This transformation has come at a cost, as genuinely affordable housing has diminished and residents are pushed further out from the city centre. Photographed over dozens of winter nights spent wandering through the escalating metropolis, "Metropole" documents the dizzying effects of a capital influx on London. The frameworks of luxury residential towers are captured during construction, with double exposures layering building upon building. This proliferating tangle mirrors the threatening scale of alteration in the city. As a result, perspective and orientation are lost in the process, emulating the sense of loss that many Londoners now feel.
