DAVID QUENTIN – SILT

Posted on 2013-03-25

Slit is a new collaboration between photographer David Quentin and bestselling travel writer Robert Macfarlane. Silt – one of the most striking chapters of his recent book The Old Ways (2012), sees Macfarlane walk the Broomway, notorious as the “deadliest path in Britain”. Quentin documented this atmospheric journey along an Essex offshore path that has claimed the lives of more than sixty people over the centuries.

David Quentin’s photographs of the walk are now to be published by Penguin Books in a special e-book edition of Silt. The photographic series reflects upon this disorientating mirror-world and show the transition from purposeful walk to an isolated end – at the mercy of a great optical expanse. Quentin’s work with photographic film; generally using vintage camera equipment, documents various kinds of human intervention in landscape. His photographs have appeared in publications as diverse as The Financial Times and Artrocker Magazine.

Exhibition runs through till April 13th, 2013

ANNETTE KELM

Posted on 2013-03-25

The photographs by artist Annette Kelm seem to filter significations as a system of values ​​and codes that are established and stabilized by various forms of image production including their distribution by the art market, media and consumers: among them phenomena of sports and daily life as well as botanics, exoticism, Hollywood film and architecture. She produces both individual and series of works with individual motifs and, in her exhibitions, shows a combination of photographs that refuse to submit to a single reading of a theme or concept. Different ways of viewing her works are offered, but never quite fulfilled-instead they rather seem to undo themselves.
