We went to Brighton to visit the biennial. There are four major galleries and dozens of small galleries showing wide ranges of photo works. Martin Parr commissioned three photographers (Stephen Gill, Rinko Kawauchi, and Alec Soth) to shoot Brighton. Rinko’s sensual images are poetic as usual, but I was absolutely amazed by Stephen Gill’s work, the super conceptual approach and the uncanny beauty. He put found objects such as flower, insects, cloth, threads, etc into his medium format camera between the lens and film. This creates such astonishing images. As the objects are all found in the streets of Brighton, the photo renders an extra tangible dimension to my affect reactions.
I was moved by Soth's work.
We rounded off our celebration of the photography with a drop of Monmouth coffee.
