The World in London

Back in 2010 I photographed Serena Viti, an Italian Astronomer working at UCL, for the Photographers' Gallery's "The World in London" project.



The photographers' Gallery invited 204 photographers to make a portrait each of someone who lives in London but originates from one of the 204 nations competing in the 2012 London Olympics. The project forms part of the London 2012 Festival, the finale of the Cultural Olympiad and is on display outdoors at Victoria Park, E3, until 12. August and at Park House, 453 - 497 Oxford Street until 30. August. There is also a dedicated website: http://www.theworldinlondon.org.uk/, which also features, interviews with the sitters and photographers.
