Treasures: Lost and Found
For four photographers, one man’s trash really is another man’s treasure.
For a new exhibition opening this week, photographers Adrian Bryant, Anne Cauvin, Fabio Pezzarini, and Fiona McVeigh are showing images deemed by others to be useless.
As befitting of the setting – at analogue camera specialists Lomography’s East London gallery – all the exhibiting artists are wild about film.
Each spent spring this year scouring London’s markets, junk yards and bric-a-brac stalls for old negatives, selecting those that captured their imaginations.
These were then developed, creating images that tell lost and forgotten stories from the past, with strange people and situations given a new life through their reappropriation.
Thanks to the titles bestowed on them, the nostalgic images are given new stories, creating a narrative around the situations that led to the click of the lens that captured them.
Treasures: Lost and Found runs from 1 – 29 August at Lomography East London, 117 Commercial Street, London, E1
