Offerings a unique twenty-first century insight into nineteenth-century photographic methods, artist Walter Hugo captures portraits of a new generation of London's creative leaders via a giant 'camera obscura', fixes them in silver nitrate and develops on glass plate - a 'positive' rather than a 'negative', and each a true one-off. His methods and artworks are shown here in image and film.
