JUNCTION

Every day tens of thousands of cars pass over the junction. Seen from the air, the numerous carriageways interlace within one another, like a heart pumping out vehicles in all directions. At night, a walk underneath completely changes our perspective of the junction, drawing one into a dark and noisy underworld. Countless journeys take place all around as the traffic moves relentlessly along out of view. Designed to set traffic free to the farthest reaches of the country, the junction unites motorways making them into one single entity. In an environment designed purely for the motorcar, walking can seem like a forbidden activity. 

Photographed underneath the Gravelly Hill Interchange in Birmingham, Junction was made as part of the MAP6 collective Home Project. The series was exhibited at The Hastings Art forum and at Peckham 24 festival in London.
