In a Sydney first, one of New York’s most influential gallerists, Yossi Milo, is bringing one of his acclaimed gallery shows to Sydney.
Never before has a New York gallery presented one of its shows in Sydney. One of New York’s most influential gallerists, Yossi Milo, brings this striking collection of leading works by acclaimed photographers Doug Rickard and Tim Hetherington.
Rickard’s uses images from Google Street View taken on their meandering 360 degree drives through the streets of America’s neglected neighbourhoods. He reconnects the imagery to viewers by re-photographing them on his computer in hauntingly new ways. A rising star of the New York photo scene, his work was featured in MOMA’s New Photography 2011 exhibition.
Tim Hetherington’s series, Infidel is an intimate account of American active-duty troops in eastern Afghanistan, showing images rarely seen in the headlines. Including photographs of sleeping American soldiers, Hetherington captures their more vulnerable side, without guns and armour. Through his photographs, writing and films, Hetherington gives us new ways to look at and think about human suffering. He was tragically killed on April 20, 2011, while photographing and filming the conflict in Libya.
A rare chance to experience leading edge photographers curated by a prominent New York Gallery and startlingly new perspectives on what we think is familiar from domestic landscapes to intensively covered war zones.
