Collins, Rossell, Yaari

Anthony Wilkinson Gallery, London

Three photographers: Phil Collins, Daniela Rossell, Sharon Yaari. The Anthony Wilkinson Gallery is pleased to present three photographers whose work has a strong reference to where they come from or now live, on a personal and political level. Each artist by presenting individuals in their daily lives, in some way challenges the conventional media representations of those societies and addresses the socio-political situations which lie beneath.

The Anthony Wilkinson Gallery is pleased to present three photographers whose work has a strong reference to where they come from or now live, on a personal and political level. Each artist by presenting individuals in their daily lives, in some way challenges the conventional media representations of those societies and addresses the socio-political situations which lie beneath.

Phil Collins (Born UK 1970) lived and worked in Belfast until recently moving to Belgrade. His series of portraits Young Serbs present intimate studies of young people living in Belgrade which invite reflection on the beauty and vuneralbility of individuals dealing with traumatic events and the psychological and social effects of disruption, violence and loss. He recently finished a residency at PS1, New York.

Daniela Rossell (Born Mexico City 1973) photographs the wealthy and priviliged in Mexico City in her series titled Rich & Famous. Her subjects (which include friends and family) present themselves on their own terms displaying the opulence of their habitat which often verges on kitch. These portraits become more pertinent when one realises that many of the photographs picture the relatives of Carlos Salinas, Mexicos discredtited ex-president whose extravagant lifestyle infamously contrasted with that of the population, over half of whom live in poverty. She is currently in the exhibition Mexico City: An Exhibition about the Exchange Rates of Bodies and Values which was at PS1, New York and is now at Kunstwerke, Berlin.

Sharon Yaari (Born Israel 1966) lives and works in Tel Aviv. He photographs the daily lives of people living on the West Bank - visiting friends, walking along well trodden paths and football pitches. The seemingly mundane, however takes on a larger significance in the context of the location and the instability and suffering that has been endured.

Special thanks with this exhibition to Kerlin Gallery, Dublin. Green Naftali, New York. Lisson Gallery, London and Sommer Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv.

Next exhibition:
Elizabeth Magill - New Paintings
