I was in London this past week and an exhibit featuring work from this photographer was in the Tate Modern Gallery. The feature was called Out of Place and showcased work meant to explore the relationship between personal and political history through architecture and space. The above photo uses a central fence and abandoned space to capture the mood brought on by Socialism in Eastern Europe. The fence instantly draws the viewers eye to the center of the page and the contrast of light between the sky and the ground emphasize the barren nature of the scene. I really like how such a simple composition can capture so much meaning and history.
