Cracktown v1.0

By Phil Barrington.

“Man disavows, and Deity disowns me: hell might afford my miseries a shelter; therefore hell keeps her ever-hungry mouths all bolted against me.”

William Cowper. Lines Written During a Period of Insanity.

Project description

An absurdist response to UK media reports at the time, of whole waves of youthful violence hitting the nation and hoodie yobs attacking the bars of their caged environment in fits of psychogeography.

Paints, blood and chemicals on top of archival prints, all photographs taken from keyring cameras or cheap bridge cameras.
