Keith Arnatt

Pictures from a rubbish tip is always a series that intrigues me. Arnatt has taken everyday things that have been disguarded of and has made them into something more interesting through the photograph. Although the images don't appear that appealing and are sometimes a bit stomach turning there is something quite interesting about them. They are documenting the things that we get rid of, the everyday things that we have through life and don't pay a second though to. He is effectively documenting what happens and what we do with these things when we are finished with them.




Arnatt takes things that are deemed as disgusting or just unwanted and he has a strange way of making them appear like something beautiful. He has a way of framing the element of the image and turning it into something totally opposite to what it actually is, making it appear as something it is not, something quite beautiful and interesting.
