Uncommon Observations:
The Ground that Moves Us

Commissioned by Art on the UndergroundUncommon Observations: The Ground that Moves Us’ is an ambitious multi-site artwork by London-based artist Rhea Storr.

This new body of work, presented as a series of large-scale captioned photographs, will be exhibited in four London Underground stations across the capital; Stratford, Bethnal Green, Notting Hill Gate and Heathrow Terminal 4. Central to Rhea Storr’s photographic and film work is her writing and research around the production and circulation of images of Black subjects.

Rhea Storr’s research asks;

How can an image share knowledge?

How might it be a call to come together as a community?

How can an image challenge or confront its audience? Can it be a projection of joy and liberation?

These questions form the starting point for the six new sequences of photographic artworks for the London Underground.
