Maybury maps

The Studio Notebook Exhibition, Hackney, London.

Maybury is a densely populated suburb of Woking. H. G. Wells lived in the area when he wrote ‘The War of the Worlds’ and based the book on the neighbourhood. Platun engaged local residents through a series of workshops that explored ideas of scale and perspective. The sessions compared the view of the earth when we fly, with the palm of our hand. Participants were invited to have their palm photographed with a macro lens, creating intimate personal landscapes that were juxtaposed with their experiences of living in the area.
