“The Pictures of Foundation”, is a series of images made using image compositing, using portraits from the postcards of the people exhibited in the British Empire Exhibition and photographs that I took in and around the Borough of Brent. Referring to the role of migration and displacement, the images remove the people from the landscape where they were presented as trophies or possessions of the colonial Empire and place them within present-day landscapes, portraying them as part of these spaces. Here, they are represented as regular human beings who are part of the history of Brent and are people involved in the foundations of Brent’s culture, similar to us, who are the present of Brent, involved in building its future.
