The construction of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for the 2012 Olympics, which was supposed to improve the life chances of local residents, actually resulted in the large-scale gentrification of the area, leading to the destruction of the local community.

The extensive use of concrete and civil infrastructure to shape the river and marshland raised ecological and socio-economic concerns for London's East End. Furthermore, the government's decision to construct expensive structures like the ArcelorMittal Orbit left them in debt at taxpayers' expense. The project's aftermath caused significant damage to the city, leaving behind unused venues, triggering property speculation, and contributing to social displacement.

My media project aims to bring attention to the peculiarities of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and its infrastructure projects along the River Lea, using satire to shed light on the economic and political factors that have influenced the planning and construction of the park.

The project takes the form of a double-sided "Pocket Guidebook" of photos designed for park exploration. The photographic compilation covers the park's main attractions, with the verso section featuring formal photographs titled "Ways of Seeing the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park," emphasising conventional features. In contrast, the recto section presents modified or enhanced photographs titled "New Ways of Seeing the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park", offering a satirical commentary on the park's distinctive design and construction. Through this dual presentation, the guidebook aims to provide a unique perspective on the park's unusual aspects.
