Control

About

Part of the London Photomonth Festival Control is a collaborative project by photographers with strong connections to the north of England. The project brings together nine photographers under the mentorship of book publisher Dewi Lewis, to create a unified body of work under the theme of control. Each photographer has set out to explore aspects of control, or indeed lack of control, through a variety of subjects from the architecture of educational institutions, to individuals seeking to regain control over their own lives, the human lack of control over the effects of consumption on the environment, exploring the controlling factors which impact on people's everyday lives in China, to perhaps the most powerful act of self-control, a study into vows of silence.
