From 28 August — 30 December, 2007
One of the most significant photographers working in Britain today, Jem Southam creates photographic narratives of landscape transformed by time and man. Upton Pyne chronicles six years in the life of an unprepossessing pond near the photographers home in Exeter, Devon. From 1996 to 2001, Southam returned regularly to the site, recording the changing seasons and tenants attempts to make improvements to the landscape. The exhibition includes twenty-one large-format photographs from the series. Shown in the context of the British traditions of landscape representation, in which the Centers collections are so rich, Southams photographs ask us to reexamine notions of meaning and beauty in the landscape. Southam, born in Bristol, England, in 1950, is Reader in Photography at the University of Plymouth. Collections of his photographs taken over the last thirty years include The Red River (1989), The Raft of Carrots (1992), and The Shape of Time (2000).
