Perou/Hyde: Tunnel Vision by Perou

Perou/Hyde: Tunnel Vision by Perou

Nocturnal scenes of Britain's forbidding, uniquely desolate underpasses

You can almost hear the ominous hum of the broken strip lighting, the knot of fear in the gut. These unloved spaces are notoriously menacing, graffiti-ridden, inconvenient. Yet through the lens of celebrated British portrait photographer Perou (born 1970) and the accompanying essay by Karl Hyde (of dance music duo Underworld), their architecture is also elevated to something magnificent, at times even ethereal. Shot at night, Perou's images also express the original utopian vision of the New Town planners of the 1960s and '70s.
The idea for Tunnel Vision was sparked between friends Perou and Hyde when Perou shot the album cover for Hyde's debut solo album, Edgeland, featuring an underpass at night. Perou has now shot over 200 underpasses across England. The photographs are accompanied by Perou and Hyde's text, and also by text of found graffiti. Each plate is augmented with the latitude and longitude details of the location of the underpass.

Karl Hyde is one half of Underworld -- the pioneering electronic duo who have been one of the UK's most consistently acclaimed bands for the best part of three decades. Underworld's most recent LP -- Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future, is their most successful since 1999. In 2014 he collaborated with Brian Eno turning a collection of the producers unfinished intro's into pop songs. Someday World was released in May 2014. This year, the band will play festivals across the world including Coachella, Glastonbury and Summersonic.

A prolific artist, Karl is one of the founding partners of influential design collective Tomato. Tomato recently celebrated a quarter-century together with a huge retrospective show in Tokyo.
