In Site
In Site reveals a hidden community, and unseen images of people who lived on the fringes of society.  Set in a zeitgeist of apocalyptic domesticity that existed in East London over two decades, a social-cultural anthropology is disclosed;  juxtaposed with the mainstream society it was adjacent to. The images provide a glimpse of an underground lifestyle, with roots in New Travellers communities. Respect, freedom, truth, and beauty are conveyed, with an unpretentious perception of the experience and expression of an urban sub-culture. Embedded are elements of citizenship, domesticity, and sustainability as a strong societal message, in contrast to industrialisation and capitalism.
