About
Manchester Manhole Collective is the creation of artist, Peter Sishton who discovered art deco manholes while recovering from a back injury in St-Jean-d'Angely, France. Peter photographed them and showcased them in a 2017 exhibition in Cardiff, with the name Funkist Kunst, which represents art in industrial areas.
Heavy Metal
A Tribute to Manholes
"Heavy Metal: A Tribute to Manholes" is a unique and interesting exploration of an often overlooked aspect of urban design. The collection of eighty images from various countries showcases the beauty and diversity of manhole covers, and the book's easy and humorous writing style makes it an engaging read.
The author's personal connection to the subject matter, which arose from a physical injury, adds a layer of depth to the book.
Profits from the book go to support Survivors Manchester, a charity that focuses on supporting male survivors of sexual abuse and exploitation, makes this an even more worthwhile purchase.
