KOBI ISRAEL – IN BETWEEN LANDS

Posted on 2012-10-29

The trilogy, Land Scapes, a travelogue that evolves around the mythic, nomadic nature of landscape photography, is a symbolic tale forming an epic cinematic journey. Each chapter explores psychological territories, using landscape as a stage on which to cast the themes of desire, identity and personal history whilst the spectator is encouraged to assemble clues and construct a personal narrative. The first trilogy, Promised Lands, marks the start of the journey and depicts waterfronts, mountains and beautiful woodlands symbolic of abundance and promises of love, relating to personal identities embedded in Israel’s consciousness.
The second – the current exhibition – In Between Lands, represents the passage between the promised and dreamed – transitory, nomadic spaces that hang between memory and being; documenting the split of time moving simultaneously towards the future and the past, yet seemingly suspended in the present. The third and last series – still in development – Dreamed Lands, depicts landscapes that once epitomised fantasy, now lie in rot and decay; here Israel highlights that we are unable to fix memories, instead we edit, redraft and rewrite them.

Exhibition runs from November 9th to November 30th, 2013

TIM WALKER – STORY TELLER

Posted on 2012-10-29

Story Teller is a major new exhibition of work by Tim Walker – one of the most visually exciting and influential fashion photographers working today. Coinciding with a book of the same name, the exhibition features over 175 inspirational images, collages and snapshots from Walker’s personal archives. Walker turns fashion shoots into fairytales or, in his own words, ‘daydreams into photographs’. He constructs flamboyant worlds that unfold like a series of stills from unrealised films.

Drawn from the world’s leading magazines such as British, French, American and Italian Vogue, Vanity Fair, W and The New Yorker and with some of the biggest names in contemporary fashion and culture, witness Stella Tennant in a pink cloud among an English country garden; Agyness Deyn in the sand dunes of Namibia; Tilda Swinton in Iceland; Alexander McQueen and a memento mori of skull and cigarettes; Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton turning an Essex garden centre into a danse macabre.

Exhibition runs through till January 27th, 2013
