NOTHING LASTS FOREVER - Peter Mitchell
“Nothing Lasts Forever” traces Mitchell’s work and career, beginning with his early photographs taken in the 1970s and 1980s while he was working as a truck driver. His perspective distanced him from the immediacy of the street, and he developed his distinctive graphic framing of buildings and landscapes that reveal the layers of urban and social history. His documentation of the disappearance of the Quarry Hill estate allowed his work to transcend the purely visual, evolving into that of a social historian and storyteller, combining original documents, archival photographs, oral histories, and observations to illustrate the complexities of change and decline.
