Local photographer Joe Donohoe’s The Invisible City will run from Thursday 28th September until Friday 27th October at the popular Leytonstone bar
An exhibition exclusively featuring black and white still photography shot across Waltham Forest, as well as European cities Stockholm and Copenhagen, will be shown at a Leytonstone bar next week.
The Invisible City will feature the work of Walthamstow-based artist Joe Donohoe and will run from Thursday 28th September until 27th October at The Mammoth Tap. Located under the railway arches at Leytonstone High Road Station, the bar regularly holds live music, exhibitions and events. Speaking to the Echo, Donohoe says the images in The Invisible City “offer a glimpse into the serendipitous and sometimes uncanny moments that occur in every day life”.
Last year Joe held his debut photographic exhibition, Vignettes at St. John’s Church. The Invisible City comes as his follow-up exhibition. The Leytonstone bar regularly shows the work of film photographers; earlier this year, the bar showed an exhibition by photographer Sebastian Edge called Darklight.

Joe said: “I’m thrilled to have been asked to stage an exhibition at The Mammoth Tap. Making these black and white prints took many hours to perfect in the darkroom, so I’m looking forward to finally sharing them with the public.
“These photographs show my experience of city life, particularly the more surreal moments that we often miss every day. My hope is that people who visit the exhibition will enjoy unpacking some of the photographs’ visual mysteries and start to see these moments for themselves.”
Entry to the exhibition is free.
