Michael Craig
Cold War18 – 29 June 2008
Michael is a renowned documentary photographer who spent the first three years of the new millennium obsessing about fridges. A minor change to European law resulted in the cessation of retailer takeback schemes for refrigerators. These goods continued to be sold in records numbers.
The old units, mostly in full working order, were cast onto the streets. Local Councils were caught by surprise. Fridges were left in place to decorate the pavements. Some were cannibalised. Some were recycled into impromptu seating at bus stops. Some were used as much needed litter bins. Cold War is the intriguing result of Michael’s obsession.
