NOTHING LASTS FOREVER - Peter Mitchell
Nothing Lasts Forever traces Mitchell's work and career from his earliest photographs taken in the 1970s and 1980s while working as a truck driver. His point of view removed him from the immediacy of the street, and he developed his distinctive graphic framing of buildings and landscapes that reveal layers of urban and social history. His documentation of the demise of the Quarry Hill estate took his work beyond the merely visual to become that of a social historian and storyteller, combining original documents, archival photographs, oral histories and observations to illustrate the complexities of change and failure.
