The Beautiful City

the beautiiful city by martin trippett - title graphic

The Beautiful City is a mixed media installation looking at the beauty inherent in the erosion of the natural urban landscape. All the elements included were drawn from the city of Leeds in West Yorkshire. The slideshow presented here was a projection forming part of the installation exhibited at Leeds Metropolitan University in November 2004.

The projection was presented alongside a found object sculpture, a series of monochrome slides and 4 oil paintings. The intent was to provide a means of explanation of the ideas and concepts behind them in order to make the use of each medium and how they link together in the finished piece clearer, both to the viewer and indeed to myself.
