Abstract

This photo-essay emerges from an ethnographic research project, Speaking Out of Place, that examines experiences of living in the Post Olympics’ East Village residential development in E20 (see also Chapters 4 and 5). This series of images and accompanying analyses aim to expand and complicate existing East Village and E20 narratives. The images, loosely-speaking, are environmental portraits, but they evade easy categorization as intimate close-ups that are mixed with anonymous distant shots, single people with groups, and eyes-to-camera portraits with documentary moments. The shifting perspectives demand varying responses from the audience, so the viewer is led through a ‘dis-coherent’ experience aimed at eliciting a questioning and critical response to the Olympic legacy story.
