Dave Heath Exhibition
The Dave Heath Exhibition was probably one of my favorite photograph
exhibitions I have seen. While walking through the exhibition I realized that
there wasn’t just one or to pictures that really caught my attention, but
almost all of them. Dave Heath’s Exhibition expresses a bittersweet vision of
modern life in his powerful photographs of loss and hope. These elements of his
photographs are jaw dropping and some cause you to not want to move your
gaze from staring at them. His photos go further than just registering time
and space, but rather they suggests a story. A story that takes place behind
the surface of the photograph and in the mind of the viewer. The stories I took
from the photographs are probably different what others experience, just
because we all have different imaginations. A dialogue is thus created between the image and the viewer
which stimulates their imagination.
It seems like most of his pictures weren’t taken on purpose
but rather were a result of Dave Heath going where life led him. It seems like some of the photographs are a reflection of private experiences of his,
and that others are inspired by him being carried away in the lives of other
people or cultures. The way he focuses his images and shows his subjects, it is
like he presents them through the lens without prejudice, and that is one
reason I was so interested by his photographs.
The photos that I have attached here were some of my favorite
ones from the exhibition. I liked these photographs so much because they are so
raw and express such an emotional feeling. There was something about them that
just really caught my eye and made me not want to look way. Their deep sorrow
and obvious pain make them so intense and made me so curious as to wonder what
happened when the photo was being taken.
