Manchester, United Kingdom
2 December 2008 – 9 May 2009
Walking around any city it is not uncommon to catch glimpses of the world that exists beneath the polished surfaces of glass and steel.... the hidden world that serves to support our contemporary imaginings of the city.
From 2 December 2008 until 9 May 2009, Urbis will be exhibiting a series of newly commissioned works, from experimental photographer, Andrew Paul Brooks, documenting his journeys behind the scenes with Manchester's official and unofficial custodians of the hidden city.
These stunning images will be displayed on a grand scale, at 1.2M x 2M, in a city wide exhibition titled ‘Reality Hacker, Hidden Manchester’.
Joining the unsung characters who maintain the city's landmark buildings, the security personnel who patrol the empty spaces and Manchester's own community of Urban Explorers, the exhibition promises to reveal concealed, restricted and sometimes forgotten spaces that hover in the peripheral vision of the day to day like never before.
