Symbiosis III
Part of Brighton Photo Fringe 2024 Collectives Hub: Common Ground
Venue: Phoenix Art Space, 10-14 Waterloo Pl, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN2 9NB
Dates: 04 October – 17 November 2024. Exhibition opening event: 4th October evening
‘Symbiosis III’ is an evolving collection of works by members of the London Alternative Photography Collective, exploring the relationship between image makers, the more-than-human, and alternative photographic processes.
What does it mean to be in relationship with a landscape or a plant for extended periods of time – to witness the interplay between individual species within their ecosystems? What is the role of artistic testimony when witnessing symbiosis within these relationships?
Whether by process or theme, this collection of works documents interspecies relationships – including those between humans and non-humans. Photographic and momentary, they are mid-relationship – we can only guess the before and after.
This collective brings together artists from diverse disciplines working together, exchanging ideas and techniques related to sustainable practices.
This exhibition considers those connections between symbiosis and alternative photography, and asks if nature is a collaborator or a commodity in alternative photography processes.
