____________ As Well As Being An Incredible Stage Performer, A Brilliant Writer And A Talented Painter, Derren Brown Is Also A Fantastic Street Photographer. Here, For The First Time, Is A Selection Of His Work. As He Writes Of His Passion: 'street Photography Is A Fitting Refuge For Those Who Look At Life From A Distance. It Both Sanctifies Our Remoteness (by Offering The Standpoint Of The Observer) And Challenges It, Insisting We Approach With A Spritely Curiosity. It Offers A Safe Route Back Into The World: The Camera Is An Entry Ticket To Daunting Social Situations And Extraordinary Environments Where We Might Otherwise Feel Entirely Out Of Place. Suddenly We Have A Role: A Reason To Be Present. And For Those Of Us Smitten By Its Appeal, It Provides A Means Of Fortifying And Forgetting Ourselves, While Extending Out Into The World With A Controlled Compassion.'
