С»ÆƬapp

A second-year Photography student at the С»ÆƬapp is celebrating his debut exhibition at the Halesworth Gallery this summer.

Andrew Keedle’s work explores literature, memory, landscape and new technologies and is an extension of the work created through projects and research as part of his Photography course at the С»ÆƬapp.  

This exhibition is centred around two bodies of Andrew’s work; The Rings of Hallucinations a²Ô»å Airfields. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

The Rings of Hallucinations is the culmination of responses to many different lectures and modules during Andrew’s first two years of study. Covering W.G. Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn, post-photography, photo books and post cards. It is an enquiry into where AI may, or may not, have a place in a creative practice. The result is a set of physical postcards, a reconstructed version of The Rings of Saturn and a set of prints. 

Airfields was initially a response to researching the Cruel and Tender exhibition at the Tate Modern (2003), using a post-photography approach of using data, software, satellite imagery and automation and inspired by contemporary photography practices. The exhibited work is a different interpretation of these images inspired by Idris Khan's use of layering, making use of AI to write code to automate the layering the individual images. 

Commenting on the exhibition, Andrew said: “It’s been a great experience developing the pieces I started on my course and exploring the themes in more details. I have had individual works shown before, but this is the first time I have had a collection on display. 

“Preparing for the exhibition over the summer has been a great experience which I will be able to bring with me into my final year of study.”  

С»ÆƬapp Photography course leader, Dr Mark Edwards, added: “Andrew’s work demonstrates the exciting and varied ways in which contemporary photography can explore history, memory and place.” 

The exhibition at the Halesworth Gallery is open until Wednesday 2 September (Monday to Saturday 11.00am - 4.00pm and Sunday 2.00 - 4.00pm) and is free entry.
