Nick Waplington in conversation

7 May 2015 at 19.30–21.00
Nick Waplington, Untitled, 2008-2009

Nick Waplington’s candid images of Alexander McQueen’s working process are juxtaposed with rigorously produced photographs of recycling plants and landfills to create a powerful commentary on destruction and creative renewal – themes at the heart of McQueen’sHorn of Plenty collection.

For this evening’s talk, Waplington, in conversation with photographer Jason Evans, discusses this fascinating project, and how he selects the many and various subjects of his work.
