He followed the dream of a perfect life that attracts many to first world countries, considering Europe as a Promised Land. In this stunning series of portraits commissioned by Vauxhall, Kurtis explores his pre-conceptions of British people whilst simultaneously re-inventing what it means to be British in today\u2019s multicultural society.<\/p>\n<p>In this cathartic project he travelled to London, Manchester, Blackpool, Cheshire, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bradford, Rhyl and Brighton, where he spent days shooting on a large format camera, documenting hundreds of people. Fascinated by stereotypical characters like the English Rose and the British Gentleman, Kurtis wanted to analyse how their modern re-incarnation differs from the original, drawing a parallel between the idealised classic British life imagined as an immigrant, and the everyday reality. Through \u201creinventing British classics\u201d, he has produced a series of portraits capturing the essence of British people today; whether they are born and bred in the UK, second generation residents or illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>Winner of the Vauxhall Photography prize Seba Kurtis was chosen by a panel of industry experts for his ability to create powerful and yet delicate work, drawing from his own personal experience to reflect on universally shared emotions.<\/p>\n<p>The Promised Land by Seba Kurtis is on from 8 February \u2013 6 March 2010 <br \/>The Tricycle Theatre, 269 Kilburn High Road, London NW6 7JR<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tricycle.co.uk\">www.tricycle.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Image \u00a9 Seba Kurtis, courtesy of Vauxhall Motors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>Seba Kurtis&#8217; new show, the result a commission from Vauxhall, is now on at the Tricycle Theatre in London until 6 March.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2171,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
