#beyond evidence

[willumeit]

This film by Shane Solanki, was made as a commission as part of his residency at FORMAT International Photography Festival, 2015.

It provides great reflections on the Evidence theme of the 2015 edition for which, together with co-curator Louise Clements, we curated the show: Beyond Evidence - An Incomplete Narratology of Photographic Truths.

Shane sampled images and moments from the festival, integrating these samples, and others, into a surreal story which flits between romance, espionage and the macabre. Music composition is also Shane’s, accompanied by Arthur Lea on piano.

It’s a real honour to be showing some pictures from The Prospect of Immortality in the group show Beyond Evidence: an incomplete narratology of photographic truths at Format International Photography Festival in Derby. The exhibition takes its cue from the seminal work Evidence by Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel from 1977. The show begins with a series of outtakes from Evidence and is followed by a diverse range of work by contemporary artists, more info here.

The exhibition runs until 7th June.
