Outernet London showcases one of the most comprehensive
Notting Hill Carnival photo archives on its giant screens to mark 60 years of Carnival
Carnival 60: Ian Watts at Outernet is an immersive installation using the Notting Hill Carnival photo archive of renowned and award winning photographer Ian Watts.
Ian’s photography was transformed into an incredible visual experience across the immense Outernet screens.
Outernet is the UK’s most visited cultural attraction with some of largest and most advanced screens in the world and annually welcomes over 120 million people.
Ian Watts said “The Outernet exhibition is the culmination of a long photographic journey. It is particularly meaningful to see photographs made with humble analogue cameras and film in the 1970s and 1980s displayed alongside my more recent digital images. These photographs span generations of technology, but the people, energy, creativity and spirit of Carnival connect them all. For me, this is more than an exhibition of photographs. It is a record of a community, a culture and a changing London.
It is a personal journey that began with a second-hand camera and has continued through many years of photography and filmmaking.”
