I'm kinda surprised more people didn't check out Timon Benson's solo exhibition at Maison Française... his use of luminograms is actually kinda cool . I mean, we're living in an age where everyone's trying to tap into AI for creative things, but Benson is taking it a step further by literally exposing paper to light. It may not be the most polished work yet, but I love the sincerity and willingness to experiment behind his pieces .
I'm loving how Photo Oxford's fifth edition is all about challenging our perceptions ! That Michael Christopher Brown's use of AI in his photography reminds me of the early days of photojournalism is just genius . And I'm so glad they featured works that tackle tough topics like loneliness and identity – it's time we start talking about mental health and representation more openly, don't you think? The way Haley Morris-Cafiero poked fun at corporate culture while also touching on the darker side of surveillance is just what we need right now . And Phil Polglaze's archive of public toilets in London... wow, I had no idea that was a thing! It's like, totally fascinating and heartbreaking all at once . Overall, I think Photo Oxford's fifth edition is a must-see – it's like a breath of fresh air after years of the same old thing
I went to Photo Oxford but didn't get to see any of the exhibitions at Maison Française, they were all closed lol. But I did manage to check out Michael Christopher Brown's show outside and it was insane how he used AI to create these images. Reminded me of old-school newspaper illustrations . The way he warped people's faces on a vintage car was wild. And then I saw Lydia Goldblatt's stuff at Old Fire Station, it was like she was screaming from the inside out.
