Jem Southam
Hirschl Contemporary Art, London
New Photographs. Southam photographs the landscape generally and geomorphological transformations in particular. His sequential approach gives a suggestion of drifting history, with the 'effect of compressing and condensing time to such an extent that we are able to read years like the illustrated pages of a book' (Roy Exley, 2003).
New Photographs
This will be Southam's first solo exhibition at Hirschl Contemporary Art. It follows the success of 'psycho-geography' at the gallery earlier this year, his showings at Arle during summer 2002 and The Armory Photography Show last Autumn.
Southam photographs the landscape generally and geomorphological transformations in particular. His sequential approach gives a suggestion of drifting history, with the 'effect of compressing and condensing time to such an extent that we are able to read years like the illustrated pages of a book' (Roy Exley, 2003). Exley writes, that Southam's work is elusive until the observer 'begins to recognise repeated configurations... snatched from the flow of time... an evolution of which these images are but a fragment'.
