What's on - The Mall Preston 1000 faces
During 2007 we embarked on a unique art project that aimed to capture 1000 images of our shoppers and local community heroes. The idea was born from 'The 1000 faces of E17', a photographic celebration of the cultural diversity that exists in today's Britain and in particular Walthamstow, East London.
We asked Hal Satterthwaite, the artist behind the original 1000 Faces, to re-create the project on a national scale by visiting our 23 Malls across the UK and capture a snapshot of each local community.
During the 11 week tour Hal took 35,000 photographs of 50 people from each Mall which have produced an extraordinary work of art - Here are the pictures that Hal Satterthwaite taken of the general public in Preston click to enlarge the photograph visit http://www.themall.co.uk/community/1000%2Dfaces/ for more pictures of the other shopping centres.
