“Gentrification in reverse”: Lorenzo Vitturi’s photographs of a market in Lagos

Lorenzo-photography-itsnicethat-list

Venetian-born photographer Lorenzo Vitturi now lives and works in London. It was here, in 2013, that he released Dalston Anatomy, a photobook which caught the frenetic energy of Dalston’s Ridley Road market. Dalston Anatomy was more than a project of the market’s stallholders and visitors: Lorenzo’s fondness for sculpture had him staging elaborately surrealist setups from wares found in the market, or defacing his own photographs with them. The project scored Lorenzo exhibitions at Foam Amsterdam, The Photographer’s Gallery in London, Contact Photography Festival in Toronto along with many other locations throughout 2014 and 2015.
