Mark Tamer - Breaking Pictures Gallery Residency

'The urge to destroy is also a creative urge'

Shape Gallery is hosting a three-day residency with photographer Mark Tamer, during which Tamer will work with various methods of creating, making, 'breaking' and destroying photographic portraits of willing gallery visitors.

Using different processes of producing, manipulating and sharing images, Tamer will engage directly with visitors in order to explore with them themes of human fragility, physicality, glitching, neurology, medical conditions and disability.

Hours: Wed 18 - Fri 20 Nov, 10am - 6pm
All are welcome to attend and participate.

Booking for this event has now closed.
