OF SLIPPAGES & SHADOWS

About

The city is more than a base in common for Krystina Stimakovits, Pete Gardner and Malcolm Phillips. Daylight and artificial illumination in turn are seen to transform the structures of the urban environment. The city becomes a dial casting indecipherable messages onto itself. Objects and buildings are displaced in distorted negative images. Not the city of monuments and symbols, but a more fragile and elusive place. These three photographers seemingly subvert the camera's unwavering scrutiny to present images of uncertainty and mystery. This is how and where we live, slipping and shading in and out of sight.
