Metropole is the result of dozens of walks taken through London, recording new construction sites and high
rises. These structures typify the influx of capital and the development boom which has transformed large
swathes of the city in recent years, in the process making London increasingly unequal, unaffordable, and
unfamiliar for those who live here.
As the book progresses the dream-like photographs become increasingly confusing and nightmarish, warping
into complex overlapping patterns reminiscent of the abstractions of Vorticist paintings, before finally coming to
rest on the financial centre of the city, the dark heart driving this change.
Lewis Bush (London, 1988) studied history at the University of Warwick, and worked in public health before
gaining a master’s degree in documentary photography from the London College of Communication. He has
since gone on to produce a succession of notable photographic projects, exhibiting them around the world.
