  • Two smart businesswomen sit side-by-side with both their heads tilted back into two sinks in a City of Londopn hair salon and enjoy the pampering of a shampoo and re-styling. With matching red towels over their shoulders to ensure their clothing is kept dry, the ladies keep their eyes closed and relax as two paiurs of hands from two stylists massage the shampoo into their scalps. We also see the scene reversed, relfected in the mirror, an the echo of everything just mentioned.

  • As traffic zooms past, the art installation called 'House' stands alone on a now-empty and house-less East London street. Oddly, the contours of the structure have been inverted to reveal an inside-out version of the original building. It is a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house completed in autumn 1993 and exhibited at the location of the original property -- 193 Grove Road -- in East London (all the houses in the street had earlier been knocked down by the council). Created by the artist Rachel Whiteread CBE (born 1963) this is her best-known sculpture. It won her the Turner Prize (the first woman to do so) for best young British artist in 1993. Here we see 'House' next to a lamp post which throws down it's light on a winter evening, before it was controversially demolished by the council in January 1994.

  • Reflections of Tudor royalty including King Henry the VIII and Jane Seymour appear as ghostly apparitions on a street corner in London's Mayfair. An art gallery exhibition of Tudor portraits, includes a striking picture of an unknown child seen far right who appears to be crossing a zebra-crossing. It looks like a girl but is in fact a young boy of about nine years of age, confusing our perception of gender in the middle-ages. Also, a white traffic direction arrow points around the road's corner as if indicating the location of Queen Jane. They all float just above ground level maiking an eerie and mystical image.

  • An unidentified father in the act of pouring coffee from a cafetiere into two metallic silver mugs in while holding his sleeping baby son in his London kitchen. The unconscious child is a few months old and the parent stands expertly holding both hot liquid and infant as if juggling pleasure and parenthood simultaneously. The sleeping child is limp in the father's arm and is dressed in the same scarlet red as the vibrant colour on the wall behind. We only see the man's upper-legs and torso but the baby is tiny against his body making the scale of both young and old. otherwise, the generic room is bare of decoration or possessions - only a drying cloth and chopping board is seen on the draining board, near plain white tiles.

  • Seen through a junk shop window in north London, the large letters Last Day have been painted in white emulsion paint on the pane of glass. Between the letters are figures and bric-a-brac on sale in this budget store. A tiger model; a Jesus figure; a doll in a green dress. 'Last Day' is also ironic in a Biblical context as it was taken a few days after the Day of Resurrection and Easter.

  • A shop window in Camden north London proclaims in red stencilled letters the business is open seven days a week when the store has gone out of business and the words No Hope have been added after the pane of glass has been white-washed. Stickers have been applied and torn off again. It is a graphic picture of irony and delusion, a misguided shop owner who thought his company was successful when it was heading for closure.

The upright map is credited to Transport for London (TFL).

  • A detail of home-made posters by residents from Kent over the planned high-speed (TGV-style) rail link from London to the south-east coast, on 5th August 1989, in London, England. Locals from the Darenth Valley in rural Kent, against the forthcoming Channel Tunnel rail link organised their own campaign to reverse decisions by British Rail to cut a new rail link through their community. British Rail announced that 150mph TGV trains would travel through their rural Kent countryside, forcing residents to sell their homes within a 240 metre corridor to the rail line, at great loss while splitting up the community.
