Reality Hack: Hidden Manchester




The second exhibition I wanted to go and view was the Hidden Manchester Exhibition by photographer Andrew Brooks, which documents his findings of spaces usually cut off from everyday sight or inaccessible to the public. His works are all very dark dingy places like in the sewers or abandoned underground amenities or the top of a church looking out over the city. The use of lighting is fantastic in his work as he manages to capture lots of eery colours and reflections which are very hard to work out where they have come from. I really like the exhibition he has produced and think that 'Urban Exploring' (which Brooks refers to it as) is really interesting and a great subject not just for photography but maybe for moving image aswell.
