Extract from editorial
‘Called Stade, the show is a collection of specially
commissioned photographs by artist Stephen Gill (photographer
of Blueprint’s award-winning airport cover). Gill has
documented the two principal Paris stadia - the newly built
Stade de France and the refurbished Parc des Princes.
Gill, a great football fan himself, does not set the architecture
up in competition with the game. He knows it’s what
happens on the pitch that is really important. Instead of
a straight study of stadium design, his affectionate portraits,
with player’s tunnels bathed in an ethereal golden light,
set the scene for the charged atmosphere of the championship
to come.’

Extract
‘The stadium looks both monumental and somehow portable
and, but for the industrial skyline just visible on the horizon,
it could be anywhere. Latent in the repetitious patterns of
the seats, the structural pylons and the grass are both the
passion and the obsessiveness of football fans. The grass,
gridded and improbably lush, looks no more natural than the
red plastic seats; the serene atmosphere gives no suggestion
of the bitter North-Eastern winters in which most of the ground’s
games are played. The stadium looks more like the setting
for a football-based computer game than for the real thing’.

Extract from ‘Zeitgeist’
‘Goebbels staged dramatic rallies that were meant to
encourage the volk to dream about the Reich as a reincarnation
of the Roman Empire. The theatricality and emotional resonance
of such mass meetings (throughout the South African elections
the news was full of images of politicians addressing crowds
at sports stadiums) is echoed in Stephen Gill’s pictures
of football parks....’
