This event has ended.

The Sound of Two Songs is the result of the artist’s love affair with Poland, describing in photographic terms the changing social values of a country caught between the past, the present and the future, both in terms of attitude and of the contradictions found in its landscape. The series reflects both the urban and the rural, the old and the new, setting the crumbling inner city housing estates of the Communist era against the new developments of colorful apartments and gleaming shopping centers.
Intangible and mysterious, familiar yet obscure, The Shipping Forecast is broadcast four times daily on BBC Radio 4 in the UK. For those at, or about to put to sea, the forecast may mean the difference between life and death. But for millions of landlubbing radio listeners, like Power, it is more than this; the enigmatic language has entered public consciousness, creating a landscape of the imagination and confirming romantic notions of Britain’s island status. Captioned by the 0600hrs forecast on the day they were taken, these photographs attempt to challenge our assumptions of these far-flung places.
