Perspectives on Collage, Photographers' Gallery - January to April 2013

Visited the exhibition 'Perspectives on Collage' at the Photographers' Gallery in London. The Gallery has recently opened and consists of four floors of exhibition space, including a cafe and bookshop. It is tucked just behind Oxford Circus Tube and a great place to view a variety of photography. I was drawn to the exhibition as my work also experiments in photography and film and was interested to see it combined with the method of collage. Photographers include Jan Svoboda, Peggy Franck, Nicole Wermers, Batia Suter, Anna Parkina, C. K. Rajan, Roy Arden and Clunie Reid.

The group of photographers illustrate various approaches in the use of photography and collage to form 2D, Sculpture and Installation.

I particularly liked C.K. Rajan's work which combines press and magazine images to create images that illustrate social and cultural contradictions. One shows a petrol pump in a flooded third world country, a comment perhaps on global warming and its effects on poorer countries that suffer from richer countries fuel consumption.
