Peter Mitchell: Nothing Lasts Forever

Engaging exhibition at the Photographers’ Gallery showcasing the work of documentary photographer, Peter Mitchell.

The work focuses on the transformation of Northern England and was shown here to reflect several series of work. I found the work drew me in and I’d liken it to the work of Martin Parr for its wry look at people and life.

I loved a series recording a ghost-ride which visited Leeds every year and a clever set “A New Refutation of the Viking 4 Space Mission” from 1979 comparing urban landscape to the exploration of Mars.

I think my favourites were a poignant set recording the demolition of the Quarry Hill Flats in Sheffield.
