  • The words 'Last Day' are painted in white emulsion on a window Camden North London, England. A Jesus figure, dolls  and various bric a brac are seen in the window behind the large lettering. Around a recession-bled Britain, high-street businesses have been going bust in their thousands. Britain has now endured eight recessions since the Second World War. No two recessions are alike, and that applies to the current slowdown also. It has been caused by a shock to the availability of credit, a massive build up of debt. The number of people out of work currently stands at almost two million. Given the rate at which the economy is deteriorating this could easily be above three million. From a continuing piece of work about windows and urban messages, the picture is from the project of closed business windows: 'Bust - the Art of Recession'.

  • Amid the deep blue skies of a summer landscape in the city, a lone figure of a woman is reflected in a large mirror as she walks through La Defence in central Paris. Reflected in a large, polished mirror we see the lone female with her back turned to us as she looks over her left shoulder. In front of her is an information post but apart from a pair of legs from an unseen passer-by, she is alone in this busy financial district of the French capital. La Défense is a major business district of the Paris aire urbaine. With a population of 20,000,[1] it is centered in an orbital motorway straddling the Hauts-de-Seine département municipalities of Nanterre, Courbevoie and Puteaux. The district is at the westernmost extremity of Paris's 10 km long Historical Axis

  • A teenage boy of 15 years of age learns the art of reversing a a small trailer on a family farmstead in north Somerset. While steering the small garden mower, he looks behind him to guage the way the front wheels turn against the rear - gaining experience of how opposite locks on their turning circles change the path of two interlinked vehicles. Giving instructions is an older man, the boy's granddad whose experience is passed on after a lifetime of handling the larger tractor in the background near his garage and wood shed.

  • The artist Rachel Whiteread CBE (born 1963) sits on the steps of her best-known sculpture called 'House'. 'House' stands alone on a now-empty and house-less East London street. Oddly, the contours of the structure have been inverted to reveal an inside-out version of the original building. It is a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house completed in autumn 1993 and exhibited at the location of the original property — 193 Grove Road — in East London (all the houses in the street had earlier been knocked down by the council). It won Whiteread the Turner Prize (the first woman to do so) for best young British artist in 1993. Here we see 'House' at a close distance with graffiti painted on the walls stating the words "Wot for ..why not!" before it was controversially demolished by the council in January 1994.

  • Fixed wheel bicycles also known as fixies are a common site especially in East London, where they have become incredibly fashionable. The simple single gear system is complimented by colour combinations of the frame and wheels, often in flourescent colours. A fixed-gear bicycle has no freewheel, meaning it cannot coast — the pedals are always in motion when the bicycle is moving. The sprocket is screwed or bolted directly onto a fixed hub. When the rear wheel turns, the pedals turn in the same direction. This allows a cyclist to stop without using a brake, by resisting the rotation of the cranks, and also to ride in reverse.
