A first attempt at a review of Atmosphere the new exhibition
at The Turner Contemporary Margate by Edmund De Waal.
I hope you can see the whiteness, the ghost, whatever it is
in the middle of this photograph, it is was flickering (wrong word) frisson is
the wrong word too, but then the right word would obviate the point of visual
expression.
Edmund De Waal, apart from being the heir with the amber
eyes who wrote The Hare With Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance, he is renowned
for whiteness and or pots.
Edmund De Waal looks a bit like this sketch.
I enjoyed his book very much, his recent pots, like a lot of
contemporary art I don’t understand, whiteness, on the other hand; it’s four
fingers and a thumb isn’t it.
Anyway it was the whiteness I went looking for.
Here is the link to the rest of the photos https://plus.google.com/photos/103118335852639233427/albums/5996668227669516321?banner=pwa
I didn’t take a decent camera as I thought it would be tempting fate and that
photography would be banned, but it wasn’t, so these are only mobile phone
snaps.
In a sense I was, or thought I was, photographing something that perhaps wasn’t there, my hope is that some people will also be able to see it in some of the photos, or better still go and have a look at the exhibition.
