| | | | | | At Photo London 2019 Atlas Gallery will be launching the 4th, much anticipated project by Nick Brandt, This Empty World.
Brandt's new body of work addresses the escalating destruction of the natural world at the hands of humans, showing a world where, overwhelmed by runaway development, there is no longer space for animals to survive.
Each image is a combination of two moments in time captured weeks apart, almost all from the exact same camera position. The project is shot mostly at night with constructed sets and an enormous cast, and for the very first time in colour.
Atlas will also show an important selection of works by Ansel Adams, one of the first artists to raise the issue of landscape conservation. Concerned about land development and the subsequent loss of habitat, Adams advocated for a balanced growth, a subject shared deeply with the stylistically contrasting work of Brandt. | | | | |

| | | | | | Albarrán Cabrera are the photographers Anna Cabrera and Angel Albarrán who work together as a collaborative duo. Anna Cabrera was born in Sevilla, Spain, in 1969. She is a photographer and a teacher, who is currently based in Barcelona, Spain. Anna earned her B.A. in English Philology from the University of Seville in 1992. Angel Albarrán was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1969. He is a photographer and a curator, who is currently based in Barcelona, Spain. Angel earned his B.S. in Computer Engineering in 1994 from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and he specialised in Mathematics at the University of Barcelona.
Anna and Angel, both have a PhD in print run and photo preservation and have had as teachers photographers such as Humberto Rivas and Toni Catany among others. In parallel to their personal photographic work, they have been requested to print for other photographers such as: Toni Catany, Claude Nori, Colita or Masao Yamamoto. They have also produced printing work for institutions such as: Fundació La Pedrera, Fundació Toni Catany, Reina Sofia Museum or Barcelona Photographic Archive.
Paul Cupido was born in 1977 on the small Dutch island of Terschelling. The inhabitants lived for the most part from what nature had to offer: from local food sources and the things that were washed ashore. The islanders' deep bond with nature and a life strongly affected by the rhythm of the seasons, the phases of the moon and the tides also characterize Cupido's artistic work to this day. He is convinced that people's lived existence is closely interwoven with nature.
Paul Cupido's photographic explorations led him to Japan shortly after graduating from the Academy of Photography and later to the tropical zones of the Brazilian Amazon. But every investigation of a place by means of photography is for Cupido also a spiritual journey into his inner self. His mesmerizing image sequences seem to have been created at the transitional moment between day and night, in a zone without time and geographical placement, but full of magic, melancholic beauty and poetic power. | | |

| | | | | | Experimental artist Ellen Carey is highly regarded for her work that digs deep into the mother lode and structure of color in new and experimental ways. Galerie Miranda will present for the first time Ellen Carey's latest photographic object the Zerogram, a color photogram produced in the framework of the artist's darkroom research on minimalism and abstraction.
The Zerogram is a 'mirror of chance' whose point of departure point is photographic colour theory and it is also the conceptual and physical follow-on from Carey's pioneering work in Polaroid. Galerie Miranda is thus also exhibiting two striking, minimal black Polaroid Pull with Filigree (2004) and a black and red Pull with Red Rollback (2006), that, nearly 2m high, were made using the large format Polaroid 20 x 24 camera.
Galerie Miranda is situated in Paris’ vibrant 10th arrondissement at 21 rue du Château d’Eau, close to the Place de la République and 100 metres from the former site, on rue Léon Jouhaux, of Louis Daguerre’s wonderful Diorama and laboratory, destroyed by fire in 1839.
Art gallery and bookshop specialized in photography, Galerie Miranda is founded by Miranda Salt, Australian who has lived and worked in the 10th arrondissement since her arrival in France in 1995. The gallery presents international artists and works who are celebrated in their own country but who have had little exposure in France and Europe. Inaugurated on International Women’s Day 2018, the gallery’s inaugural cycle of exhibitions March-October 2018 featured solo presentations by prominent women artists Jo Ann Callis, Nancy Wilson-Pajic, Marina Berio and Ellen Carey. In autumn 2018, the gal… | | |

| | | | | | Hannah Collins and Mark Ruwedel draw on the tension that lies between documentary and conceptual photography and both share a fascination with the influential American photographer Walker Evans.
Hannah Collins will exhibit a selection of black and white photographic studies of large-scale sculptures by African American artist Noah Purifoy, which are situated in the Mojave Desert. "As a traveller from another history and a different continent, when I came across Noah Purifoy’s sculptures spread across the desert, I felt like an explorer encountering the ruins from another time and place." (Hannah Collins)
Mark Ruwedel will show a selection of black and white "portraits" of abandoned houses in the desert area surrounding Los Angeles (coincidentally near Purifoy’s desert sculptures). "Hundreds of abandoned houses are scattered across Wonder Valley, which lies east of the town of Twentynine Palms. There are also many that are occupied, but the mystery of abandonment was what attracted me: the atmosphere of unseen violence and tragedy, of failure of an undisclosed nature." (Mark Ruwedel) | | |

| | | | | | White Space Gallery presents a selection of Eastern European photography from the 1970s and beyond closely linked to the phenomenon of the so-called “Lithuanian School of Photography”. Among the works on display, are photographs by three master-figures: Antanas Sutkus (*1939), Vitas Luckus (1943-1987) and Rimaldas Vikšraitis (*1954) whose pieces focus on the everyday life of people under the Soviet occupation and are characterized by a deeply empathetic, humanistic approach to their subjects. The display also includes a selection of polaroids by groundbreaking filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-1986) and large-scale prints by contemporary Russian artist Vita Buivid (*1962) which focus on the complex – and often contradictory – feelings associated with living in the (former) Soviet Union.
Photographer Antanas Sutkus is considered the funder of the Lithuanian School of Photography and its most renewed leader. Working at the time when the country was part of the Soviet Union, Sutkus focused on black and white portraits of ordinary people in their everyday life rather than the model citizens and workers promoted by Soviet propaganda. His humanistic approach comes to the fore in his images of people, especially children, young adults and lovers. The artist stated that his aim is 'to make an attempt at drawing a psychological portrait of the contemporary man'. Sutkus has recently received one of the major European Photography prizes, Erich Solomon Prize for photojournalism (2017) and opened a landmark exhibition, Kosmos at the National Gallery of Art in Vilnius (2018).
Rimaldas Vikšraitis is best known for his artistic documentary photographs of rural life in his native Lithuania. His photographic series – among which are Grimaces of the Weary Village (1998 – ongoing) and Slaughter (1982 -1986) – document the decline of village life in the country leading up to and following the break-up of Soviet Union. Vikšraitis' black and white studies of drunkenness, nakedness and dereliction are depressing yet strangely beautiful, by turns frightening and darkly comic. In 2009, the artist won the prestigious Discovery Award at the Arles photography festival, having been nominated by Martin Parr, who described the work as "slightly insane and wonderfully surreal".
Vitas Luckus is considered one of the most groundbreaking photographers from the former Soviet bloc who aimed to challenge traditional photography by creating surreal montage series, social reportages and conceptual book projects.His photographs are characterized by an unmediated intensity of emotions and acute facial expressions. Luckus's monograph “Vitas Luckus. Biography. Work” was recognized as the best historical book at the photography festival “Les Rencontres d'Arles” in 2015.
Between 1979 and 1984, Andrey Tarkovsky took a series of polaroids which documented his travels across Russia and Italy. The works include romantic landscapes, studied portraits, and private shots of the auteur's family and friends. All the photographs demonstrate the filmmaker's visual-poetic ability to capture a sense of nostalgia, perennial loss and intense longing. Accordingly to art scholar Boris Groys, the polaroids closely resemble – in terms of mood, atmosphere and light – 19th Romantic landscape painting.
Vita Buivid is a contemporary artist based in Moscow whose work span across photography, textiles and fashion. Among here more relevant pieces is a series of photos taken in 2001 in collaboration with fashion designer, Petlyura, the self-professed “king of junk”. Together with the designer, Buivid staged several group photo with people dressed in outmoded fashion items from the Soviet era. This archival concern is symptomatic of her practice which seeks to reclaim surviving scraps of Russian national identity that are fast disappearing under capitalism.
White Space Gallery was funded in 2001 with the aim to promote contemporary art from Russia and Eastern Europe. The gallery focuses on important Russian artists which emerged after the perestroika period such as Oleg Kulik, Tatiana Antoshina, Vita Buivid, Gluklya (Natalia Pershina), Leonid Borisov, Ivan Sotnikov and Timur Novikov. The gallery also represents photographers Rimaldas Viksraitis and Anastas Sutkus - members of the Lithuanian School of Photography renowned for its humanistic approach to photo-making. White Space has a strong focus on producing exhibition catalogues and regularly commissions articles for publications. Works by artists represented by the gallery are included in the collections of the Tate and the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), National Museum of Modern Art (Oslo), Huis Marseille Photography Museum (Amsterdam) and Yad Vashem Art Museum (Jerusalem) among many others. | | | | |

| | | | | | Malte Sänger, Shifting Baselines
From 2012 until 2017, Malte Sänger worked for various German film productions abroad. When the work was done, he went out and took pictures with his analogue medium format camera. Each newly gained impression seemed to let the previous one fade, so that over the years the fragmented memories finally gave way to a big whole. The images, whose locations of origin are often thousands of kilometers apart, are juxtaposed without comment. Freed from their original context, the re-arrangable and loosely bound overall structure of the pictures in this series let space and time merge.
The photographs in Malte Sänger’s series Shifting Baselines were taken in Armenia, Belgium, Brazil, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Nigeria, Palestine, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States of America and Vatican City.
Malte Sänger (b. 1987) received his diploma in 2018 from the University of Art and Design, Offenbach am Main, where he studied photography with Martin Liebscher and philosophy and aesthetics with Juliane Rebentisch. He is a 2018/19 prize winner for "Gute Aussichten - Young German Photography" and has been awarded the 2015 Deutsche Börse Photography and HfG Award as well as the German Photo Book Prize in silver 2018/19.

| | | | | | Established in 1995 in Darmstadt, the gallery space moved to Frankfurt am Main in 1998. From the beginning, the emphasis has been on promoting young artists. In particular, the gallery has worked for the promotion of video and new media art by enabling artists to show their work in the necessary settings, as well as having supported publications and productions. Gallery artists have also been invited to take part in the exhibitions of important, international museums, such as MoMA, New York; SF MoMA, San Francisco; Whitney Museum, New York; Serpentine Gallery, London; ZKM Karlsruhe; Ludwig Museum, Köln; international festivals and biennials. After 20 years of activity, it is the aim of the gallery to contrast historical positions with emerging artists, particularly in photography and video. Today the emphasis is on the dialogue of these young artists with established artists. | | |

| | | | | | | | Ganga Ma is the result of Giulio Di Sturco’s ten-year photographic journey along the Ganges, documenting the devastating effects of pollution, industrialisation and climate change. The project follows the river for over 2,500 miles, from its source in the Himalayas in India through to its delta in the Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh. The river is on the edge of a humanitarian crisis and ecological disaster — a metaphor for man’s conflicted approach to the natural world — both revered and desecrated.
This project was awarded the Getty Images Grant 2014, the first place in the International PhotogrVphy Grant 2018 – Climate Category and was exhibited as part of the Sony World Photography Awards 2015 and LensCulture Exposure Awards 2018 at the Somerset House, London.
A monograph of this work will be published by the award-winning GOST Books in June 2019. The book includes texts by author and environmental activist Dr. Vandana Shiva and curator Eimear Martin. | | |
