Nigel Charnock’s curled body lies near the edge of a broad paved space, surrounded by the repeated geometry of the surrounding architecture. The small, exposed figure interrupts the scale and order of the city. Made in 1995 as part of The Naked City Pictures, the photograph draws on Hugo Glendinning’s sustained engagement with performance, giving a still gesture the tension of an unfolding event.
