The World in London @ Photographers' Gallery


The World in London

27 July - 12 August 2012

At least some good news comes with the London Olympic Games, the art events...
Let's not remain in the ambiant gloomy mood dur to traffic nightmarish news, Transport For London's misery, Theresa May's failure about security and let's enjoy the good mood that should come along with the long-awaited sport event!



Here is my first choice of activity matching exactly the Games' dates:

The exhibition at the London's Photographers' Gallery entitled the 'World in London'. 

"The World in London is an ambitious outdoor photography project for 2012, showing London's diversity and photography's unique role in capturing the human form", the gallery promises.

It is to be seen from July 27th, on a offsite in Victoria Park, London E3.

Over the past three years we have commissioned acclaimed and emerging British and international photographers to take portraits of Londoners of all ages and from all walks of life. Each portrait is unique in its composition, setting and style.

Coinciding with the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, this project set out to bring together 204 portraits of 204 Londoners, each originating from one of the competing nations.

The World in London celebrates London as a place where individuals from all parts of the world live side by side, each of them contributing to make London the unique city it is.

All photographs will feature on the project's website, launching on 27 July, which includes background stories on each of the participating Londoners.
