A photograph of one of the benches that are part of a collection of public and purposeful art on the South Bank main promenade around the Festival Hall in London. By artist Jeppe Hein. Scarlet in colour the bench is traditional in structure save its seat which is as if it’s made of fabric or pliable rubber and draped across the end legs creating a loose m shape. The patient young person waiting for the camera holder to finish drew comparisons favourably with municipal benches much less able to afford a person without shelter to stretch and rest. The surrounding scene is the original brutalist architecture later additions in materials of black, grey and white making the flowing bright red pop all the more on a grey December day. Perhaps enhanced a little by an illuminated vertical sign of gold nearby.
