The Sofa Fly Tipping Exhibition
We had one. We loved it. It was cosy and comfy. It has been part of our life but it felt in disgrace and sadly ended up on a rainy street pavement...
This photography exhibition reveals the happy memory of that homeless sofa. A contrast between the users, the context and the central element.
​
The dramatic issue of sofa fly tipping is here depicted in a colourful and peaceful way, maybe to pay tribute to them and surely a thoughtful way to raise awareness without patronising.
