Event: Exhibition Ice & Teeth: a Dialogue on Process | 8 -14 November 2024 – Private View: 7 November 6-7.30pm – Dorset Place Gallery
What happens when the subject matter becomes the very ingredient in the photographic process? Ice & Teeth seeks to explore exactly that. Combining work on two seemingly different topics – holga & pinhole camera images of the Arctic by Charles Binns and Ola Teper’s photograms of a woman’s body – the process here pushes the boundaries of traditional representation. The Arctic saltwater and red lipstick become active elements in the conversation about landscape photography in an era of climate change and the enduring struggle for gender equality, which continue to shape the world of today. Together, their work opens a dialogue on how process, materiality and subject matter intersect in photographic practice. Ola Teper and Charles Binns are PhD students in School of Art and Media.
