Richard Wentworth

'View of streets we never see'....

Richard Wentworth creates a series of photographs, based on the litter he finds placed down Caledonian Road in London. When researching this series I was completely inspired by the way a random object placed in an interesting way can change completely what the environment. Usually, litters seen as something disgusting and accidentle. Wentworth photographs the objects in a way that they are

interesting for the viewer and are the main focus rather than the environment.

'Here is a London you have never seen before, an aerial panorama that moves from the graceful arches of King's Cross Station (that elegant, under-appreciated classical gem) to the wasteland north of the terminal, where thundering cranes, derricks and earth-movers are carving out the new channel tunnel link - revealing, as they do so, a row of splendidly Dickensian warehouses, blackened hulks left over from the age of the railways that I, for one, never realised were there.'
