20. Taryn Simon - 'A Living Man Declared
Dead and Other Chapters'.
She has been photographing the descendents of 18 different bloodlines, each based around a
particular situation, exploring predetermination and notions of perpetual return. There are many
blank photographs for those who couldn’t be photographed.
23. Timothy Archibald – sometimes I
wonder
• photography was a way of connecting with his autistic son, Eli. Archibald says,
“People jump to all sorts of desperate measures to feel like they’re doing
something— a diet, a new medication, a special doctor…and this helped me feel
like I was doing something.…We got to work as equals on something.”
24. Evi Numan
My work consists of portraits of people with medical disorders that are
invisible to the casual observer. I try to photograph the intangible
beauty that comes from the mental and physical suffering that often
plagues the human condition, but is rarely explored in an honest
manner. I’m interested in the painful and exhilarating experiences that
colour their lives of those suffering from mental and neurological
illness and I attempt to reveal them on the faces of my subjects. Using
the face as a map of psychological experience, I try to unveil the telltale subtleties apparent in each individual’s physiognomy.

28. A41 project
by Colin
McPherson
The project's images have been
created by photographer and
visual artist Colin McPherson
with contributions from equality
groups in the West Midlands,
Merseyside, London and Milton
Keynes. Colin explained:
“Working on this project in
tandem with The Equality Trust
has allowed me to explore
through my photography one of
the most important social and
political phenomenons of today.
The images I have created are
'social landscapes,' photographs
which simultaneously try to
show the effects of our actions
while asking questions about
why inequality exists." Further
exhibitions are planned in Milton
Keynes, Birkenhead and London.
37. Liz Hingley – Under Gods
(book in the library)
Photographer Liz Hingley’s first image in her
series ‘Under Gods: Stories from Soho Road’
depicts an unremarkable dual carriageway
running north from Birmingham’s city centre.
Under Gods, Soho Road, Liz Hingley,
Birmingham
But for Hingley, who grew up there, this threemile stretch of road is one of the most varied
and fascinating corners of the country. It is a
junction of diverse faith, where Muslim, Hindu,
Buddhist and Jain, Christian and Sikh meet.
“Faith is exhibited in all the shops, shown off as
symbols on hats and t-shirts, branded in
tattoos,” says Hingley. “It is religion rather than
race that now defines the local communities.”
