Due in November 2015, this new book published by The Moth House documents an 18-month long collaboration which I undertook with the BMW Group surveying the fabrication, tooling and assembly of the modern era automobile vehicle. Whilst the project focuses solely on BMW's plant and R&D centers in and around Munich (Germany), it also looks beyond the mere referent, representing therefore a point of resistance.
Conceived around the simple premise of 'slowing down time', this project undertakes an examination and articulation of the world of flux and flow that we live in, a world defined, haunted and consumed by mobility and transience. Symptomatically titled 0:00.00, this series was produced with long exposures of 5 - 45mins. Photographing with prolonged exposures in a fast moving environment represented a significant challenge, thus requiring a great deal of coordination and support from BMW. All the images were therefore produced during scheduled and enforced production breaks. 0:00.00 represents the final phase of an overarching project which has engaged with environments as varied as airports (When Light Casts no Shadow 2008), hydropwer plants (The Time Machine, 2012) and space facilities (The Poetic Impossibility to Manage the Infinite, 2014) and whose main goal has been to examine and re-evaluate our relationship with technology and industry and its impact on our social and cultural consciousness. To place an advanced order, please contact The Moth House.

The Wapping Project Bankside has partnered with Mallett, the renowned antique furniture dealers, to present a unique and original hang of contemporary photographic work. It's an exceptional synergy of classic and contemporary.
The showrooms are set over four floors of a classical townhouse, which was built as the London palace for the Bishop of Ely in 1772 and remained the Episcopal residence until 1909. The Bishop employed Robert Taylor to draw up the designs for the building, a renowned neo-classical architect famed for the figure of ‘the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, amongst other designs. Ely House, with its historical importance and exceptional interiors, is the ideal setting for this unique collaboration.
