On the 10th December, we presented a selection of new works by young American photographer Sean Vegezzi at the Peckham Hotel.
Vegezzi’s striking documentation of the empty spaces lying beneath the surface of Manhattan and atmospheric images of the individuals who inhabit them present a sympathetic, intimate look at a whole other world beneath our feet. However, within these spaces something entirely different is uncovered - a touching glimpse into the psyche of the teenage outsider, the escapist.
The images were presented as large, A0 photocopies - directly embedding themselves in a visual dialogue with the rough, functional nature of the stripped-out space.
