Liverpool trip 19th September 2012

On 19th of September we went to Liverpool where we visited the Open eye gallery and the Tate gallery, even though the open eye gallery was minimalistic the collections in there were very inspirational and I found it very helpful in moving my ideas forward, I also found this in the Tate.

One thing that did annoy me was the lack of understanding from some of the younger photography students, they found the work grotesque and were screaming and laughing, but hey ho not my education.

In the Tate there was a particular exhibition called 'The hotel, Room 28' by Sophie Calle that i find very interesting and the most influential thing I have seen since Donovan Wylie's 'losing ground'. Calle's work is a series of images of the same hotel room over a three week period and she documents the findings of the residents threw photographs. I like the photographic style of these images, the tones and the composition is very moving.
