MONDAY CLASS
DAVID PRATT
David Pratt is a documentary and war photographer that used to be an art teacher. He is also a journalist, broadcaster and author. In this exhibition in particular he shows us his work from his previous and recents visits to ukraine.Taking pictures that document the state of the people still there and the places after the horrible violence. He brings awareness to a war reality that affects all of us in different ways some more than others.
This exhibition was in Sogo Art Gallery. Overall there was a reception at the entrance and then the exhibition was displayed in a circle you could follow around the space of the gallery. My favourite images where those two that i've uploaded. Although the one that impacted me the most was probably the first one, the missing poster of and old lady. It felt personal for a second since i could just feel the pain the people looking for her where going thru not knowing where she was or if she was even alive. I felt sick just imagining me in that situation looking for my granny specially they are even more vulnerable having restricted mobility.
As for the photographer i loved how he used to be in the arts section and moved to photography because its curious to see how a lot of photographers went thru the same, as well as me where we kind of discovered the passion for photography thru art. I also admire how brave he is because i could never do his work. I feel like i'm to sensitive to be in those situations I would be overwhelmed by so many emotions.
