East London Up Close

This playful photo series by local photographer Mimi Mollica thrusts the viewer straight into the inspiring, frustrating, wild and living streets of east London. Abstract, colourful snapshots of people, fabrics, architecture, wildlife and everyday objects together tell a story of a vibrant, ever-changing community. Mollica’s (sometimes extreme) close-ups are full of warmth and spontaneity; making us yearn for a time when close proximity to strangers was inherent in our day-to-day lives.
