Steffi Klenz : Nummianus
11 Sep-22 Nov 2009
The New Art Gallery Walsall
Walsall WS2 8LG
For this series of works, Steffi has photographed rows of boarded up terraced houses in Greater Manchester. These houses are representive of a more widespread trend in which most residents have left the area, causing a rapid decrease in value for the remaining properties. Unable to sell their homes, some residents are forced to remain in the area where they are subject to a downward spiral of social exclusion.
