Böcker av Rob Ball

- Vivid modern-day photographs of Benidorm - Britain's original beach holiday - examine how the dream has changed Capturing the juxtaposition between its vibrant beach culture and towering urban landscape, Rob Ball's photographs of this famous Spanish seaside town consider the promise of the perfect package holiday - and whether it has changed since it's conception in the fifties. From sunlit palm trees to shimmering neon lights, from pastel-colored high rises to bright pink beach towels, from the greys and browns of backstreets to the pinks and reds of sunburn, this is a visual ode to all the colors of Benidorm and a testament to its irrepressible energy.

Richly colourful photographs that capture the nostalgia and vulnerability of British seaside resorts. From Blackpool to Brighton, the pastel colours, faded arcades and worn-out carpets of British coastal towns evoke a particular nostalgia. With the changing tides of the British political landscape these traditional resorts appear fragile and some are falling into disrepair. Nevertheless some are thriving (thanks to regeneration funds), and all retain a special charm and retro appeal. Shooting for more than a decade since 2009, Rob Ball has documented over 35 coastal towns. His images serve as a record of a unique culture that is at risk of disappearing forever.
