Our First exhibition of the new year 2019 Opening March 7th to March 17th
Fragments By Giulia Berto
Fragments is a long-term black and white series in which I explore how it feels to be together and apart as lovers in a long-distance relationship. Three cities, four countries, two continents. The starting point in London then New York – my adopted home, Dublin – John’s homeland in Ireland and Italy, where I grew up. These are the emotional landscapes of a tale of love and trust, friendship, separation and reunion.
The project is shot on a 35mm SLR film camera with black and white Ilford HP5 Plus 400 film.
