EWEN SPENCER – ENGLAND’S DREAMING

Posted on 2012-10-08

England’s Dreaming consists of a series of images taken in and around the country that encompass the artist’s profound interest in youth and street culture. This highly anticipated exhibition, shot over 15-years, examines what it means to be young in 21st century Britain, capturing the awkward moments of adolescence that are familiar to so many of us.
Shot in Spencer’s signature flash photography style, the candid photos show Britain’s youth in action as they tackle the sensitive issues of dating, sex and socialising. What results is a strikingly intimate, somewhat shocking and often disturbing display of what goes on when parents are absent and youths are left to their own devices.

Exhibition runs through till November 4th, 2012

Some wear their outfit only on special occasions and have changed clothes exclusively for the purpose of posing for the photograph. Others present themselves more naturally, their traditional dress also serving as their day-to-day clothing.

The twenty-third James Bond movie, directed by Sam Mendes.
After an operation in Istanbul ends in disaster, James Bond is missing and presumed to be dead, and the identities of every active undercover MI6 agent are leaked onto the internet. In the aftermath, questions are raised over M’s ability to run the Secret Service, and she becomes the subject of a government review over her handling of the situation. When the service itself is attacked, Bond’s sudden reappearance gives M the pretext she needs to seek out Raoul Silva, a dangerous villain claiming a personal connection to both of them – but as he follows a trail from London to the South China Sea, Bond soon finds his loyalty to M challenged over secrets from her past.
