Lorenzo Vitturi’s work is often found at the intersection of sculpture and photography. His project Dalston Anatomy, which has functioned as both a publication and series of images for exhibition, saw him spend time in London’s Ridley Road Market taking pictures, making sculptures and creating collages with food, materials and objects he found amongst the debris of the marketplace. Vitturi’s process is largely concerned with the creation, consumption and preservation of images. The makeshift sculptures he created mimic the organic and temporary nature of the market, and their documentation is the way in which they endure after diminishing. The book is bound in exquisite Vlisco fabrics in bright patterns that are reminiscent of the traditionally African patterns often found in textiles sold at these markets and accompanied by a poem by Sam Berkson that layers voices from the market to draw on its disjointed and surreal atmosphere.
