"Based in the financial district of London, After The Bell is an investigation of the unseen and the marginal.
Concentrating on the maintenance staff that clean corporate offices at night, it explores the dialogue between these ‘invisible’ people and the space in which they work. Equally, these financial organisations could also be regarded as 'invisible', as the companies function on the basis of trading ‘virtual’ monetary value (stocks and shares), which have themselves, no physical entity.
The inherent detachment we experience in the city is also explored here. From outside looking in, or face to face with the workers, the anonymous individuals are never fully revealed. Momentary glimpses drawn out by the camera will always fall short of revealing anything other than that moment." Emma Charles
