Short Stories – an exhibition of narrative photography curated by Oliver Prout
Short Stories is a collection of beginnings, endings and resurrections, invisible bonds between life, death, decay, and rebirth; A unique collection of short stories ranging from the abstract to the explicit. Short Stories features a diverse range of photographic talent, from established masters to complete unknowns, with a story to tell. Short stories is a journey though the confessions and desires of a series of haunted minds. Sometimes the story is more obvious, sometimes abstract but always engaging.
One of the most provocative and diverse photographic exhibition this year, Short Stories is a journey from the darkness of life as a prostitute betrayed by her own sexuality, though the ecstasy and violence of a destructive relationship, to the serene foreignness of altered states of mind.
