Watch Antoine d'Agata talk about "HOME" in a project filmed in 2017 presented in collaboration with FUJIFILM.
Bieke Depoorter’s cinematic photograph presented in the exhibition centres on Agata, a dancer who, in the dark hours following her 24th birthday, invited Depoorter to her house. Their mutual connection and intimacy resulted in a series of works which touch on enigmatic settings, complete trust and an intriguing communion of spirits. In this series, reminiscent of David Lynch and the golden era of Hollywood cinema, Agata and Depoorter’s rapport epitomises the concept of safe connections.
"The photograph of Lisa & Dee, is from a project called the Prince Street Girls, a group who hung out on a corner near my home in Little Italy. At the beginning I was making pictures just to share with them. These were incidental encounters, moments that we met after school, on the street, the market or in the local pizza parlor.
I was the stranger who didn’t belong. Little Italy was mostly for Italians then. Most of these girls have their own families now and are no longer living in the neighborhood. We would never have imagined then that we would continue to know each other 45 years later." Susan Meiselas.
Peter Marlow’s poetic series, ‘Eel Pie Island, Sycamores' Gladys Heaths house on the island’ from 2001, spotlights the loneliness of elderly people in their homes, fixing the passage of time. Empty rooms, a lonely toothbrush, desolate sofas and old televisions feature in these remarkable images which melange vibrant colours with the inherent sadness of people and their personal objects.
