Stephen Gill Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Een meeslepende weergave van de duistere criminele onderwereld van Londen, het verhaal volgt Oliver Twist, een wees die vanaf zijn geboorte geconfronteerd wordt met kwaad en tegenspoed. Na te zijn ontsnapt uit het werkhuis en de pompeuze Mr. Bumble, wordt Oliver in een bende van dieven getrokken, vol levendige personages zoals de sluwe Artful Dodger, de brute inbreker Bill Sikes, zijn hond Bull's Eye en de prostituee Nancy, allemaal onder het waakzame oog van meester-dief Fagin. Dickens mengt elementen van Gothic Romance, Newgate Novel en populair melodrama, en creëert een nieuwe soort fictie die een wrede samenleving bekritiseert, doordrenkt met een gevoel van bedreiging en mysterie. Dit verhaal biedt een kritische blik op de sociale ongelijkheid van de tijd en de strijd van de onschuldige tegen de onderdrukking van de maatschappij.

Stephen Gill has learnt to haunt the places that haunt him. His photo-accumulations demonstrate a tender vision factored out of experience; alert, watchful, not overeager, wary of that mendacious conceit, "closure." There is always flow, momentum, the sense of a man passing through a place that delights him. A sense of stepping down, immediate engagement, politic exchange. Then he remounts the bicycle and away. Loving retrievals, like a letter to a friend, never possession… What I like about Stephen Gill is that he has learnt to give us only as much as we need, the bones of the bones of the bones... --Iain SinclairContinuing to photograph where his award-winning book Hackney Wick left off, Stephen Gill also made Archaeology in Reverse in this personally cherished area of East London. Still making pictures with the camera he bought at Hackney Wick market for 50 pence, for this volume Gill focuses on things that do not yet exist.This magnificently produced book features traces and clues of things to come in a poetic, sometimes eerie and quiet photographic study of a place in a state of limbo prior to the rapid transformation that the area faces during the build-up to the Olympics in 2012.
