TYGER TYGER - BENJAMIN BUTCHER                                                                                                                                                
Tyger Tyger is a 124-page monograph by Benjamin Butcher, which weaves an expansive noir of both documentary and fiction. Butcher’s London, serves as backdrop to an imagined metropolis, where a wild tiger roams freely amongst the metallic facades of city infrastructure.  

The title is drawn from William Blake’s poem The Tyger (1794), which ruminates on the duality of beauty and destruction. Butcher’s photographs, like Blake’s verses, pose open-ended questions, inviting viewers to reflect on greater realities determined by power imbalances, fragility, and the natural world’s enduring presence in the face of urban expansion.
