Press Release Inner Landscapes Dafna Talmor, Ben Nason, Minnie Weisz and Mick Finch 27th April 2nd June 2017 Private View: Tuesday 25th April 2017, 6 9pm Sid Motion Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition, featuring the photographic work of four artists: Dafna Talmor, Ben Nason, Minnie Weisz and Mick Finch. The title of the show references the common conceptual themes that these artists explore in relation to time, place and memory. Dafna Talmor presents work from her series Constructed Landscapes, an ongoing project built of a personal archive of photographs, gathered over many years, shot in different natural environments globally. Born in Israel, raised in Venezuela and a regular visitor to the USA, but living and working in London, Talmor collages together medium format colour negatives before exposing them to create her images. Combining the real and the imaginary, she slices out the man made traces in her images making them timeless and place-less, creating a utopian space, blurring time, place and memory. Mick Finch who presents works from his current Book of Knowledge series. Finch uses appropriation to explore constructed landscapes both in construct and imagination. While Talmor finds her landscape from personal travels, Finch uses images found from hours of trawling volumes from an 8 volume series of encyclopedias published by Waverly in the late 1950s referencing the earliest photographic images he was exposed to. Minnie Weisz exaggerates the image by using the camera obscura technique, turning entire rooms into cameras then capturing her subject. Weisz s studio is located in King s Cross, close to the gallery, an area Weisz has documented from the start of its regeneration. Through these works using dilapidated abandoned buildings we bear witness to history and the shifting of time, to memories past and present, again bordering a threshold between the real and imagined, dream and reality. Further exaggerating the emotions loaded on the everyday, London-born, Paris-based artist Ben Nason presents new works from his current Infinite series. Starting in 2015 when revisiting an image taken two years before of a corner in one of the rooms at a Claudel/Bourgeois show in Avignon, Nason studies the quiet intersection of the gallery and of private space - the meaning of a single corner is exaggerated, each image is personified and has its own mood, colour and story.
