Two works: (i) Working in a State of Emergency (Hools); (ii) Working in a State of Emergency (Pollockshaw)
Two photographs from Cyprien Gaillard's *Working in a State of Emergency* series capture the raw, ritualistic energy of football hooligan gatherings and the bleak architectural landscapes of post-industrial urban peripheries. Gaillard draws parallel between collective acts of destruction and the weathered remnants of modernist housing projects, finding in both a kind of brutal, unplanned sublime. The works reflect the artist's ongoing fascination with ruins, entropy, and the violent undercurrents that animate contemporary social spaces.
