In Your Face

- Paul Trevor
Exhibition of images by photographer Paul Trevor.
“In Your Face presents a series of spontaneous close-up portraits made unobserved on the streets of London between 1977 and 1992.
“The work contrasts the Brick Lane street market with London’s money market, the City, a mile away.
“Paul Trevor’s motivation was partly political as this was the era of Margaret Thatcher, who polarised debate about the differences between market forces and community values.
“The idea was to say something about the two places without having to show what people did. The story would be in people’s faces. Requiring a close-range approach, the project involved me in a new way of making photographs.” – Paul Trevor
