The Election Project, Simon Roberts exhibits at Portcullis House
Thursday, 16 September 2010
Westminster Village hosted Open House last weekend and a significant attraction was at Portcullis House where two linked photo exhibitions, The Election Project and The Public Gallery are on show until Christmas. The main works, 25 large colour prints by British photographer Simon Roberts, follow the campaign canvassers around the UK during the final 25 days before the general election, while the amateurs’ collection is a frieze of 1,696 postcard-sized digital prints of images sent in response to requests made at each stop.
