Suck it and see at the LCP

By Ian Burley

20th June - 2001

This year’s annual degree show by photography students at the London College of Printing started yesterday and Digital Photography Now! went along. Sponsored by Hewlett-Packard, the event is titled “Suckcess”. Held at the LCP’s Clerkenwell campus in Back Hill, until this Friday 22^nd June, the show reveals extensive use of digital imaging resources.

Many of the exhibits are digitally printed and a favourite effect this year appears to be the use of collage techniques for creating surreal effects, like a tube station façade in the middle of wooded park land, for example. Another exhibit that caught our eye featured the use of unusual print media, like used pages from a lecture notebook and even rolls of graph paper.

The show is a definite thought-provoker and an impressive showcase for the thirty plus students’ imaginations. It’s well worth a visit if you are in the area.
