Election Project 2010 exhibition

The Election Project 2010 is an exhibition of images by photographer Simon Roberts providing an enduring and unique artistic response to the 2010 UK General Election.

The work was commissioned for the Parliamentary Art Collection by the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art.

The images are a series of landscape photographs which centre on the relationship between the canvassing politicians and the voting public.

As part of the project, Simon Roberts also invited the public to submit their own images of election activity in their area, these images will also be on display.
