Simon Roberts came to Newport, on a Thursday, a day we had an amazing thing , that was visiting Artist, either invited by the Documentary Photography department or the Photographic Arts Departement. Simon Roberts showed us, as others did, his practice. At the time he showed what we had finalized, "Motherland" a Documentary Photography Project, about Russia and the idea of a Nation. Something that is very particular in the case of Russia. Simon has a web page were you can see the result's of the book and his other on going project " We British". The fact that he was invited to Document the Election, he thought of generating a space on-line in order for every one that wants to be part of this Documentation, place their photographs. I thought that this is a important moment and decided to be part of this . I placed this one , made in a "off-licence" in West Kensington, before the first debate, when the Liberal Democrats were not seen as a strong alternative to, the Democrats or the Conservatives. The http://theelectionproject.co.uk/ his still going and you should be part of it.
