Surreal multiple exposed photographs of street corners in London’s East End look like oil paintings

Akin to film stills, or perhaps even oil paintings, these images show the street corner as a location in flux, a place of intersection and momentary interactions, and a metaphor for the ever-changing face of East London. An Orthodox Jewish family and a woman pushing a pram appear on the street corner of a half-demolished building, passing one another when, in reality, they were never there at the same time.

Chris Dorley-Brown is a British photographer and curator who has lived and worked in East London for over 30 years, documenting many aspects of the area. This series, The Corners, is now available in a new book of the same name, his fourth to be published so far.
