The document discusses and provides images of Littlehampton's Longest Bench in the UK. It was designed by Studio Weave to be the longest bench in the world but fell short of the record. The bench opened in 2010 to criticism from locals who disliked its design and thought the money could have been spent elsewhere. The photos explore the sinuous form of the bench both close up and from a distance. They remain the intellectual property of photographer Gary Marlowe.

- 2. IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY ABOUT THE LONGEST BENCH DESIGNED BY STUDIO WEAVE, LITTLEHAMPTON’S LONGEST BENCH SET OUT TO BE THE LONGEST IN THE WORLD, BUT ENDED UP FALLING A LONG WAY SHORT OF THE RECORD. IT OPENED, WITHOUT ANY FANFARE, IN JULY 2010 AND HAS ATTRACTED MUCH CRITICISM FROM LOCALS WHO LOATHED ITS DESIGN AND WRONGLY THOUGHT THE MONEY IT COST TO BUILD SHOULD HAVE BEEN SPENT ON SOMETHING ELSE. I’VE BEEN FASCINATED BY THE PROJECT SINCE ITS INCEPTION AND IT IS THE SUBJECT OF MY PHOTO STORY ‘THE SCANDAL OF THE BENCH’ WHICH CAN ALSO BE FOUND ON SLIDESHARE. THIS COLLECTION HOWEVER FOCUSES ON THE FINISHED BENCH AND AIMS TO VISUALLY EXPLORE ITS SINUOUS FORM, BOTH UP CLOSE, AND FROM A DISTANCE. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY NOTICE THE IMAGES CONTAINED IN THIS PRESENTATION WERE CREATED BY GARY MARLOWE AND, WHILST BEING AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING ON SLIDESHARE, THEY REMAIN THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF GARY MARLOWE. © GARY MARLOWE | 2010 - 2011 gary marlowe

- 92. IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY ABOUT GARY MARLOWE WITH A BACKGROUND IN MARKETING AND GRAPHIC DESIGN, GARY APPLIES HIS HIGHLY DISTINCTIVE VISUAL STYLE TO CREATING IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY ACROSS A DIVERSE ARRAY OF SUBJECT MATTER, FROM ROCK MUSIC, FAST CARS AND FASHION TO FLOWERS, FOOD AND ANIMALS. WHATEVER THE SUBJECT, HIS WORK IS INSTANTLY RECOGNISABLE, BOTH IN ITS COMPOSITION AND ESPECIALLY WITH ITS PLAYFULLY ILLUSTRATIVE GRAPHIC STYLE. INVARIABLY, HE USES HIS IMAGES TO TELL STORIES AND IMAGINATIVELY CAPTURE A ONE-OFF EXPERIENCE. gary marlowe
