HOTshoe Gallery London
Other I: Alec Soth, WassinkLundgren, Viviane Sassen
A great exhibition at the Hotshoe Gallery in London.
October 12 - November 27
Curated by Aaron Schuman
Faced with legitimate criticism during the latter half of the twentieth century, photography shifted from a medium often used to explore, explain and express the foreign and unfamiliar, to one used to examine, reveal and define oneself. In 1984, Andy Grundberg noted such a shift starting to occur specifically within documentary practice, ‘…towards recording the “I” instead of the “Other”, centering itself on what the photographer's life is rather than on what it is not…’. This exhibition features several prominent contemporary practitioners who are cleverly redressing this balance by merging direct encounters with the ‘Other’ into forms of self-exploration, self-revelation and subtle autobiography, equally emphasising what is in front of the camera – the ‘Other’ – and what is behind it – the ‘I’.
More Info about the exhibition can be found here.

Her work has been exhibited internationally and in 2010 her first monograph 5683 miles away was published by the German publisher Kehrer.

Two Way Lens and Susan Burnstine
Two Way Lens proudly presents Susan Burnstine.
I am very happy and excited that another outstanding photographer is part of my project now.
Susan Burnstine is an award winning photographer based in Los Angeles. Her recently published first monograph Within Shadows earned lots of attention and won the Gold Award for PX3 Prix de La Photographie Paris in the Professional Fine Art Books category and a Bronze Overall.
Within Shadows was first released in Europe at The Venice Biennale and is published by Charta Editions.
The dream like visions Susan creates are entirely made in-camera without any post processing manipulations.
To achieve this, Susan created over twenty hand-made film cameras and lenses that are frequently unpredictable and technically challenging. The cameras are primarily made out of plastic, vintage camera parts and random household objects and the single element lenses are molded out of plastic and rubber.
Susan's work has been exhibited internationally, is included in many private and public collections and represented by galleries across the world.
Please visit Susan's website to see more of her wonderful work.
The interview with Two Way Lens can be found here.
