Private View- Inner Grey
I went to the private view of “Inner Grey” by Nicoló Giudice. He is a visiting lecturer at my university. This exhibition was about people who embarked on a drug rehabilitation programme for drug addiction. It explored how the war on drugs had failed through I series of grey film images. Each image looks at the issue from a medical and psychological viewpoint. The consequences they have on the person and how they have overcome drug addiction. I did not understand how all the images documented this notion, as they were grey images of bodies and everyday scenes. But I feel the shades of greys in the images reference the struggle of the person overcoming drug addition, and dealing with the issues that got them in the situation in the first place. I did not understand all of the images but feel viewing this exhibition helped me see how effective film photography can be as a medium to document a sensitive issue.
