Exhibitions @ ArkT
SUZY PRIOR EXHIBITION
Suzy Prior is a professional photographer and filmmaker who specializes in documentary photography, with a particular interest in documenting England and its idiosyncrasies
Suzy’s exploration of Englishness focuses on many of the institutions of childhood, which have their own hallmarks and visual signifiers: the funfair, a weekend by the sea, Morris dancing and the small and insignificant details of village life. The images are both an affectionate and an ironic take on English life and culture.
Exhibition continues until 30th September
