Once Upon a Time, in London
When I was interning in London, I played Massive Attack’s “Mezzanine” album endlessly. It was part of my London soundtrack, coupled with David Bowie’s “Low” and “Heroes.”
Walking around damp London streets, commuting on the crowded Underground, or printing photos in the darkroom. The album became important to me without me even realizing it, and it still so fresh in my ears. It’s clouds of smoke against a single bright light. It drips oil… dark, slick, and filled with strange swirls of color swirling on the surface.
With the announcement of the Massive Attack “mezzaninexxi” show next year, I thought I would share one of the projects I photographed while under the influence of the album.
Let’s talk about it in the comments below… in the meantime, here’s my favorite track off the album… will it be part of the Desert Island Stitch series? Only time will tell…
