Think of all the hard work that goes into making a building. The skills, the strength, the early starts. You see the finished product sure enough – but what about the people who made it?

Over the course of the Aviva Studios build, photographer Ming de Nasty captured portraits of the workers bringing the space to life. We caught up with Ming to find out more about their project Under Construction and the people behind the scenes.

Ming de Nasty: Under Construction was displayed at Aviva Studios as part of The Welcome from 11 to 19 November 2023.
