This exhibition marks the first in a series of salons across the Fleet Street Quarter, aiming to activate spaces and bring contemporary photography into the City of London.
Salon 1 presents selected works from Finding Eden, an ongoing body of work by Fergus Carmichael Winterbon. The photographs shown downstairs at Three Fleet Street are one-of-a-kind toned cyanotypes, drawn from a series of self-portraits made on the island of Menorca.
This location holds deep personal significance. The images are made around the site where the artist’s father’s ashes were scattered. As one of the first points in Spain to see the sunrise, it has become a place of pilgrimage and reflection. The work is shaped both by this personal connection and by the island’s longstanding ecological stewardship.
Through this relationship between body and landscape, Finding Eden reflects on vulnerability, memory, and the impermanence of human presence within nature—marking the beginning of an ongoing, lifelong project.
The works are printed on hand-cut Japanese papers, traditionally used for screen-making. Delicate yet strong, each cyanotype is unique. All works are available framed; for unframed pieces, please enquire.
