Between 2015 and 2016, Francesco Ragazzi shot over fifty thousand images through the window of the grocery shop where he worked, nestled inside Broadway Market. At times, he triggered the shutter himself; at others, he left the camera to its own casuality, shooting at regular intervals, always leaning in the same position on the oil shelf. Through its unique design—modular and interactive—and a thoughtful edit from this enormous pool of pictures, Broadway Market offers the viewer a glimpse into the stream of life pullulating every day in front of the shop’s window, paying tribute to the Market as one of East London’s pillars and most striking metaphors: a key space mirroring the mythical area’s inner soul and evolutions over the years.
