Landscape-Portrait
By: Kevin Carter
Landscape/Portrait (www.landscape-portrait.com) is a collaboration between artist Kevin Carter, artists, communities from around the UK.
The project presents self-portraits of real people across England and Scotland and compares them with the demographic portraits that exist based on official statistics for their postcode area, whilst creating a unique view of the region, its people, places and communities.
