Cornerhouse
Since 2022, Gunner Gu has been capturing the essence of Manchester’s twentieth-century architecture in the serene stillness of early morning—just after dawn, before the city stirs to life.
"Gu reveals Manchester in the stillness of dawn, streets deserted, stripped of its inhabitants and steeped in bleached light. His Manchester is never gloomy nor foreboding. He is not interested in glowering concrete nor picturesque shabbiness. He doesn’t fight the colourless skies, endless cranes and garish hoardings, but neither does he dwell on them. Buildings, not mood, are his centrepieces." Helen Barrett
In 2025 the modernist published 'Quiet Light' photographs by Gunner Gu, available here.
