Angela Strassheim – Evidence
May 14, 2012 – 9:38 pm
Evidence No. 2
Evidence No. 12
The quietly violent black and white interior images from Angela Strassheim‘s series Evidence sit alongside seemingly banal colour documents, picturing very usual suburban settings. The pairing
of languages creates a haunting body of work, both visually disturbing and alluring, detailing and aestheticising brutal crimes long after the event. Using a chemical treatment and long exposures Strassheim brings to the surface histories that buildings have long since tried to forget.

Beautiful and lyrical self-portraits with family members by Italian photographer Anna Di Prospero that both explore and are created by the intimate bonds within a family.

It’s a great time to be in London at the moment for gallery visits. Here’s a few that we recommend you pay a visit to:
Laura Pannack Young British Naturists at Gallery One and a Half
Charming recently opened space in Dalston shows Laura Pannack‘s first London solo show, which documents the private world of young British naturists. Looking beyond the sensationalism of bare flesh Pannack sensitively examines the freedom and unity that nudity brings. Photographing these individuals without the personality markers that the outer layers of clothing bring; Pannack draws the viewer’s attention back to the basics: posture, gaze, gesture and minute details (shoes, tattoos, jewelry).

Dana Popa After the New Man at FOTO8
“In After the New Man, Dana Popa revisits her homeland, Romania, and the generation who were born just before or after the fall of the communist regime. This body of work is an intimate portrayal of youth and the fleeting memories of a bygone era that still permeate the individuals and landscape.”

‘Unknown Quantities’ at Fishbar

Images from les curiosités by Graziella Antonini
Graziella Antonini‘s project les curiosités is a beautiful collection of landscapes in which the natural meets the man-made, where animal, plant and human worlds collide. I also really like her series Imaginary trip to Japan; an album of ‘souvenirs without travel’.
