Exhibition opening: Lots of Lots – Jason Fuldford
Lots Of Lots transforms the seemingly quotidian objects captured by Fulford in nearly seven hundred photographs into an evocative collection of interconnected and overlapping forms creating our image of global northern hemisphere landscape – a vibrant riff on conceptual artist Sol LeWitt’s 1977 publication PhotoGrids.
An empty laundrette, a lone park bench, and a cascading waterfall are among the many sights that find new resonance in Fulford’s wry and illuminating compositions, revealing beauty among endless production and consumption.
Fotofestiwal audience will have a unique opportunity to experience this project in a site-specific installation prepared by Fulford in the space of the historical YMCA swimming pool. This exhibition might actually be one of the most memorable exhibitions in the festival’s history.
