Project Description
Book cover, Community: The Elephant and Castle. Image rights: Patrick Sutherland
Community: The Elephant Vanishes is the second part of three-part photographic series The Elephant Vanishes. The live project in its entirety spanned from 2006 to 2010, undertaken by students on the MA Photojournalism and Documentary Photography course at London College of Communication. The project, under the directorship of Patrick Sutherland, pursued a long-term photographic documentation of the regeneration of the Elephant and Castle. Every new academic year students were equipped with a new theme with which to examine and portray the changes that came with the regeneration of the area.
An exhibition of the work was held at the Cuming Museum in the Old Town Hall on Walworth Road running from December 2008 until May 2009. The exhibition consisted of 118 individual framed or mounted photographic prints by 11 photographers, of which one is a 350 image grid and one a 28 image grid.
