Fermée les dimanche et lundi. http://www.photonet.org.uk The Print Sales Gallery will be exhibiting photographs from two new bodies of work by Simon Norfolk (born Lagos, Nigeria, 1963) in which the 2003 Citibank Photography Prize nominee continues his exploration of landscapes that have born witness to human conflict. Norfolk's recently completed project on Bosnia concerns itself not simply with the war but more with the events that followed and the shadow that still hangs over the region. Abstract images of ice, water and snow speak of buried secrets and the truth that, with time, bleed out. The exhibition of these works will coincide with the launch of Norfolk's new book on Bosnia, Bleed. Norfolk's photographs of the Normandy beaches where the D-day landings took place will also be exhibited. The twilight studies of the sites that carried the codenames of Utah, Omaha, Gold, Sword and Juno commemorate the dawn invasion of 6 June 1944 and contemplate their modern role as holiday retreats. © Simon Norfolk
