  • During a weekday lunchtime in the City of London, a young man sleeps on the grass in St. Paul's Churchyard, near the outer walls of the cathedral. Office workers have gathered with friends and colleagues taking advantage of warm weather to lie on the grass and eat their lunches. The man is asleep on the short lawn, having spent 20 minutes fiddling with his iPhone, scrolling through messages and sending emails after finishing his own sandwich, which has been put away next to his prone body, in a plastic bag. A council worker pushes a wheelbarrow along the path laden with refuse as the young man lies resting before another afternoon at his nearby desk.

  • A trader from the LIFFE futures exchange takes a break in the street during a weekday lunchtime. Alongside him on another bench is a homeless man in the City of London in a scene of wealth with prosperity versus the fate of poverty and loss.

We see the passer-by in a shirt and tie but only two hands, legs and trousers up to the waist of the sunbather, the rest of his upper-body is obscured by the angle of the lens.

Peabody was a philathropist, banker and entrepreneur ( 1795 – 1869).
