Entropy In The Capital

The theory behind this project comes from the word entropy. Entropy is the general trend of the universe towards disorder. It is chaos leading to decay. The city is entropic; it strays from nature to such a degree that it gives rise to an ordered disorder. From this comes deterioration.

Using three locations in London to illustrate 3 stages of entropy – exurbia as life, London Bridge as chaos and New Cross as decay – this multimodal project illustrates the city as a perfect example of this metaphor.

This project is a conceptual way of getting people to look at what they do not see, what they pass each day but do not recognise as entropy. Using photography also to explore the human-like forms that nature takes and the cold visuals found in the city, this web project aims to tether us to the natural world and reexamine urban life.
