‘You and Me in HU3’ presents the work of two photographers, George Norris and Russell Boyce at Humber Street Gallery. The exhibition combines black and white photographs with ongoing work, and explores half a century of change across the HU3 area of Hull.
In 1983, Russell Boyce, a 21-year-old Hull College of Art student, was documenting his local community of HU3 when he met George Norris, a 19-year-old, third-generation rag and bone man. Boyce would spend a few weeks around the Norris family, capturing George in various aspects of his trade.
Decades later, George discovered a box of pictures, one of which was a photo of him and his late mother, taken by Russell in 1983. After rediscovering these pictures, he took up photography himself and went on to reconnect with Russell.
Since then, Russell has returned to Hull to re-imagine some of his original images, linking the work from forty years ago with new work today. George, now a documentary photographer, presents a selection of ongoing imagery reflecting contemporary HU3 communities to go alongside this.
