Total Image Nation Exhibits at the Menier Gallery in London

Foreword

An exhibition of selected photographic works representing the diversity of modern photography By Total Image NationExhibition dates: 3 – 7 June 2008Private View: 6 – 8.45pm. 2 June 2008. Menier Gallery, Southwark St, London, SE1 1 RU A new exhibition showing work of the photographers collective, Total Image Nation, entitled Foreword opens on June 2nd at the Menier Gallery, London.
Running from 3-7 June Foreword is a statement of intent: a description of what is to come, marking the beginning of the next chapter for Total Image Nation with the launch of their new website which reinforces their commitment to be actively involved in promoting and supporting the work of emerging and established photographers throughout the UK. With selected work from photographers such as Natasha Allen, Fang Zheng, Roberto Foddai, Michelle Lord and Giuliana Sommantico, this exhibition is a statement of the values of the photographers work and how they mean to progress. Promising to be bold, interesting and exciting Foreword includes varied images from different genres and approaches: Fang Zheng’s beautifully still, yet eerily quiet images, of urban renewal in Shanghai show another side to the cityscape of China and demonstrate a boundary where ruins meet modernisation.

Roberto Foddai tells a story through his neorealistic images; from one image to the next the tale twists and turns with cinematic style and unyielding observance.

Michelle Lord laboriously and intricately constructs scenes and uses traditional photographic practice to create images which have an incredibly otherworldly feel. There will be a private view on the evening of Monday 2 June and many of the photographers will be present to discuss their work, anyone who wishes to attend should RSVP to info@total-image-nation.co.uk Foreword is curated by Karen Harvey. www.total-image-nation.co.uk
