Battersea Power Station : Michael Collins

3 Sep-29 Sep 2009

Riba, Royal Institute Of British Architects
London W1B 1AD

Overview

A series of large scale photographs of Battersea Power Station, made in 2006 and 2007 by artist Michael Collins, provides a fascinating and faithful account of this British landmark as it exists today. Collins applies the principles of Record Picture photography to his images – placing an emphasis on clear, unadorned description – a practice that, for many years, has been employed by architects and civil engineers.
