Heart & Soul

Johnny Green (2009)

Heart & Soul is a series of abstract photographs by photographer Johnny Green mixed to the bleak, brittle and burnt out depths of Joy Division's Heart And Soul. The photographs chronicle A Journey from The End, literally, as it's the story of the end of The End, the London nightclub which shut its doors in the early hours of January 25, 2009. They show a London of sorts upon that January morning, dark, wet, abstract.

Yet the music's not of that night. It is of a Manchester of 1980. Somehow, away from the dance floor, neon lights and sweat, to the sodden, sodium lit suburbs of north London, this other world of alien, translucent forms captured from the rainy windows of a taxi shadow the Hulme of 1980 and the spirit of Heart And Soul.
