This exhibition is an examination of the artist’s own analogue / digital documentary photography archive.

About

Once released from the rigid categorisation of the archive and from the burden of memory and historical documentation, the photographic image, as document, ceases to serve as archival memory, and is no longer bound by its historical duty to promote truth and accuracy. These photo-montages are Steve Forrest’s response to what he feels are the limitations of documentary photography within an increasingly simplified and polarised view of the world.

Steve Forrest is a photographer and artist based in Manchester. He has been a professional photographer for over 30 years, working extensively around the world. He has covered foreign wars for major international news organisations and newspapers, shot Hollywood celebrities, musicians, artists and politicians for The New York Times, and has worked for UK government departments, foreign governments, the United Nations and other large international NGOs. He has his own photographic agency, Workers’ Photos, and is represented by Panos Pictures and CameraPress in London.
