The large format images were commissioned by Knowle West Media Centre as part of a campaign in Knowle West. The images have been on the railings on Leinster Avenue for over a year and have been adjusted by passers by. There is a prevailing theory that you can't exhibit work in this kind of environment because it won't survive, although in my recent work I am trying to contend some of these negative paradigms. The four portraits are of local people mainly from the Filwood area of South Bristol. | |

| Simon Poulter has spent the last three years investigating deprivation in England, including periods of time in Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol and London. During this time he has devised a series of site specific works located in these communities. The work explores the friction between culture, urban regeneration, government instrumentalism and those who live in disadvantaged communities. Simon is a founding member and director of PVA MediaLab in Bridport | |
