Home Is Not A Place

Product Information

Pitts invites you to come in, take a seat and feel right at home - to experience what home means to him - whether you’re flicking through family photo albums, chatting and sharing ideas, or listening to pirate radio playlists from Pitts’ 1980s youth.

Johny has contributed words and images for The Guardian, New Statesman, New York Times and CondéNast Traveller.

Home is Not a Place’ is a collaborative work uniting photography, poetry and select prose; this collection potently capturing a psychogeography of Black Britain—from Glasgow to Margate, comprised of both positive and negative exposures—with its aperture fully open to the synergy and synchronicity of Black joy. Evocative mix of candid shots and poetry that capture the Black British experience and what the coast can mean as a boundary for identity and for exclusion.

He has been commissioned by The National Trust, London Open House, BBC, National Portrait Gallery and Theatre Royal Stratford East (where he was also Associate Artist).In the back part of the gallery, Pitts presents a room suggestive of a private space, quiet and contemplative.
