Southwood from the portfolio Our Present Invention

Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa
British and Ugandan, born 1980
2012-14
An inkjet print that quietly places a solitary young person in an orange hoodie on a green utility box at the edge of a suburban field, inviting attention to a moment and a place usually overlooked.
You're first struck by the figure’s turned back and bright hood set against a muted sweep of grass, trees, a fence, and a shallow drainage—an image of presence made small and isolated by its surroundings.
From the portfolio Our Present Invention, Wolukau-Wanambwa’s photograph reworks documentary conventions to make visible the social and spatial margins of contemporary life, prompting new ways of seeing how people occupy ordinary landscapes.
