Press Release -
Karine Laval: Reflections celebrates 15 years of work by the contemporary French photographer, Karine Laval. The exhibition, organised to coincide with the publication of a major new book on her work by Steidl, charts the evolution of Laval’s images from sun-drenched, bleached-out European lidos to darker, more abstracted dystopian landscapes.

Presenting new work by the gallery’s stable of contemporary photographers alongside classic mid-century work, this exhibition invites the viewer on a voyage around the world. Each photographer’s work on view offers a unique perspective and approach to age-old themes of travel, discovery and wanderlust.
Highlights include Doug Hall, a new gallery artist, who not only photographs soaring urban landscapes and interior spaces from around the world, but also reflects on tourists as they enjoy holiday moments at well-known attractions such as the Pantheon. New color work by Abelardo Morell brings the Italian landscape inside; infusing physical context and enchantment into the interior spaces he transforms into room-sized Camera Obscu...

C'est en retrouvant de vieux souvenirs familiaux, albums et films de famille tournés par son père lors devacances en bord de mer, que Karine Laval a commencé en 2002 à revisiter la mémoire de son enfance : un rapport ludique et sensuel à l'espace, à l'eau, à la chaleur et au mouvement.
Elle utilise l'ambiguïté de la photographie, entre réalité et fiction, pour reconstruire une narration qui la renvoie à ces moments privilégiés. Dans « La Piscine », série exposée lors de ces Estivales, le choix de la palette de couleurs, tantôt saturées tantôt ...
