DAVID WILSON
I share with pleasure some recent images of the photographer David Wilson, relating to its investigation of the Greater London. Moved to the east side of the capital in October 2011, he began to seek a dialogue with the human landscape, with acute sensitivity and careful research of composition. He seems to move to the edge of town, but it is actually in the city. This is where he want to get rid of a stereotyped view. In his walks, he observes, takes notes and capture significant moments and situations. What emerges is a human puzzle that does not pretend to be exhaustive but to get closer to reality without in any way deceive it. There is a desire to collect impressions, to decipher the landscape in its entirety, to discover the different identities of a place before even express them. Somehow we like to think of David Wilson as a sort of humanist geographer.
