2023 : A Zipheads Odyssey

  • Photographer
    Pauline Di Silvestro

On a cold February day, The Zipheads were wandering in Thamesmead, exploring what once was the playground of Stanley Kubrick... The modern Brutalist tower blocks by a tranquil lake were the filmset for Clockwork Orange. In a typical London fashion, most of it has been taken down to rebuild newer, more expensive tower blocks. But the community has stayed strong, and the grey concrete slabs are decorated with street art that is out-of-this-world. This photograph proudly shows the band's new line-up, getting inspiration from my biggest influence and showcasing unknown parts of London.

Pauline Di Silvestro planted her roots in North London in October 2017. With over 12 years of experience in live music and performance photography, her work captures the exhilarating moments of both intimate punk and burlesque shows and grand festivals, showcasing her versatility and eye for detail. Pauline has received numerous nominations, including the British Photography Awards in 2020 and 2023, the International Photography Awards in 2022 and 2023, and the London International Creative Competition in 2023.
