A writer says:
read what I have written.

An historian says:
listen to my lecture.

A critic says:
listen to what I think.

A journalist says:
let me tell you a story.

An artist says nothing.

A STORY OF GREED. A STORY OF VENGEANCE. A STORY OF TWO SISTERS.

This exhibition by 2nd year Photomedia students embodies the use of narrative as a tool within photography to tell a tale. The twenty-nine works on display share the same story.

A DOWNWARD SPIRAL. JEALOUSY. HATE. SUSPICION.

Like any story this one has characters, the odd twist and a bitter mix of emotion. The use of filmic techniques to capture movement and change allows for the still photographic image to remain fluid.

F*** UPS. FINGERPRINTS. WOULD YOU LIKE FRIES WITH THAT?

What is the story about? You can’t ask and we won’t tell. The story of a mystery isn’t about the answer, but focused rather on the unriddling.

HOW FAR CAN A PARENT’S LOVE BE TESTED?

Agatha Christie never unsuspected the suspicious yet cliché. Sherlock Holmes proposed that once you eliminated the impossible the remainder, no matter how improbable, is the solution. Dirk Gently concluded never to eliminate anything – including the impossible.

THE HORROR. THE HORROR.

A keen eye and open mind will locate hidden clues and subtle undercurrents throughout the twenty-nine works. A rich mix from many genres and influences from throughout photographic history.

A FAMILY’S LIFE WILL CHANGE. AND YES SOMEONE WILL FINALLY DIE!

Come judge for yourself. Unravel the mystery. Find the killer. Drink our wine.
