Pictures from the Real World

'Pictures from the Real World.‘ was exhibited at the Whitworth Gallery in the exhibition 'Open House' opening in 2022. The series is a powerful collection of colour documentary photographs of families on a council estate in Moore’s home city of Derby, UK, made between 1987 and 1988. It was also a critical response to the new political and social realities imposed by Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government from 1979
