Pavilion commissioned four emerging UK-based
photographers to each produce a body of work for exhibition as a group
show. The photographers selected for the commission and exhibition
opportunity were: Millie Burton, Lydia Goldblatt, Hetain Patel and Eva
Stenram.
The work commissioned by each of the
photographers was exhibited at Photofusion, London 23 November 2008 -
12 January 2008.
Home Improvements is a
photographic series that documents exiled domestic objects found at
recycling centres within the UK. Like Frankenstein's monster, the waste
mountains that now exist are both frightening and pathetic creations of
our own time.
Images from the series can be viewed on the Pavilion Online Gallery.
Two Special Edition Prints from the series are avaliable to purchase direct from the Pavilion website.

And The Word Was God
explores the ages at which rites of passage rituals and ceremonies are
performed, focusing on the moments from which children adopt forms of
religious language, prayer and ritual. The work probes the encounter
between the collective nature and identity of religious practice, and
the individual who takes on these beliefs as way of life.
Images from the series can be viewed on the Pavilion Online Gallery.
Two Special Edition Prints from the series are avaliable to purchase direct from the Pavilion website.

Indian mindset, cultural mannerisms and the way in which they reveal
themselves.

utilises photographs of landscapes on the planet Mars. These images are
downloaded from the NASA website, re-cropped and output as analogue
negatives which are then printed in a darkroom.The resulting imagery is
a combination of extreme distance and extreme proximity, created and
imposed on the fantastical Martian terrain.
