176 GALLERY

PLACEText: Sayaka Hirakawa

After the opening exhibition An Archaeology, the second exhibition at 176 is a new film work Living London by Gerry Fox. Getting into main room, there are six big screens at every direction.

The top screen shows sky, the bottom one, the ground and the front screens show views of famous London streets at 360 degrees, making you feel as if you were there. The film shows London’s bustling landmark Piccadilly Circus and you can feel like as somebody’s about to bump into your way.

After the noisy city view, there comes the opposite images. The cameras show us green, trees, sunshine between leaves. It feels like you can hear the birds singing. This is such diversion from Piccadilly Circus maybe you think but in London, even centre of the city there are relaxing parks.

Other smaller rooms also set with multiple screens, which reflect London’s multiculturalism, consumerism and environmental issues. The real London aspect captured by this documental film maker must tell you something even if you are not a Londoner.

You can’t forget about their café of course because LOLA’s is in charge. Very colourful and unique icing cup cakes are so popular between fashion show’s goody bags or reception party sweets. So here we go, take out London’s most stylish cake after seeing Living London project. Living London Exhibition until April 20th.
