Written on Skin

The physical, emotional and spiritual places we inhabit as humans when being our most authentic.
This project is about human connectivity, respect for each other and the planet.A response to COVID and current global disharmony. Signs that humankind has yet to appreciate the importance of compassion and regard for all of life.
Words have been written on the skin as slogans to signify the connection that we all ultimately share. Something that people can feel removed from when they prioritise money and technology. How might things change if we prioritise kindness and compassion for each other?
The work follows on from a previous project ‘Skin’, a progression if you will.
It also resonates with my second novel, ‘The Darlings of Soho’, that looks at the human condition and the one thing that is at the core of our very essence …LOVE.

 

CHARLESTHECHINESEMAN @charles.thechineseman

My principal objective as a close-up street photographer is to provide future anthropologists with alternative archaeological evidence – not of celebrities and world leaders, but of the significant everyday life.

On a personal level, I love theatre but do not like to pay for it. The theatre of the street performs 24 hours a day for free. GOOD MATCH!

DAVE HULL @thedavehull
Dave Hull completed a Bachelor of Science in Film and Television Production from Montana State University followed by an Internship at Lucasfilm.  Afterwards he worked on a Visual Effects shot for Michael Jackson’s music video “Black or White”.  Returning to Montana, he spent years honing his PC animated shorts which ultimately led to his exploration and development of multiplane photography.

The multiplane camera is traditionally a motion picture camera used in animation.  After the objects are placed on the glass, lights are placed and adjusted. The camera pointed down “sees” the world created on the layers of glass…in camera. What you see is what you get!

CONVERSATION WITH GOD

God is inside everyone. God is love.

I felt like shooting and collecting moments where His presence was intense..inside people..inside me..in nature..in church…anywhere.

..His presence feels like Freedom, (Soul)Freedom (Artworks I & II)

< People come & go../People speak/People feel/People cry..laugh..roll../Exist.
I feel God Inside Me/I feel God in Nature/I feel God in their Hearts..
“God.. Don’t Go..”- Ellie>

..His presence feels like Love and Commitment (Artworks III & IV)

<People come & go/Some of them stay/Some of them stay & go.
They follow their own path.
Near God/Near Nature/Near Me/Maybe..

“God..Stay..” – Ellie>

Prithi is a London based photographer specializing for some time in photography of the natural world as can be seen in her collections ‘Black’ and ‘Ice’. She is showcasing a brand-new ongoing series here at the Brick Lane Gallery titled ‘New Era’. This is a portraiture-based series, motivated by the violence suffered by women across the country with a spike during the Covid pandemic. The images form the photographers’ own feelings and view of how women should “be” in today’s society and challenges those stereotypes. The images are for those who choose to be fearless and unapologetic about who they are. The series celebrates individuality, strength and freedom and the spirit of the female in all its ages and backgrounds.

 

NOMPUMELELO MCUBE (NOM) www.nomncube.com

There is much work to be done in dismantling negative connotations and stereotypes with African communities’ cultural heritage in British society. These portraits and photobook are part of a virtual exhibition encompassing photographs, moving portraits, a home-made playlist and digital photobook that aims to humanise African identities, particularly focusing on Egoli, Johannesburg, the cosmopolitan city of Southern Africa.

Countering the one-dimensional narratives of African identities is what has motivated photojournalist, Nompumelelo Ncube (Nom) to produce a celebratory body of work. To contribute to the cultural movement that has been encouraging the African Diaspora to claim their cultural heritage, no matter their place of residence.
