| | | | | | This year’s Photo London presentation features two unique, and yet related, bodies of work: "Bunker - Along the Atlantic Wall" by the Italian photographer Guido Guidi and "Bunker", an ongoing series by the LA based artist Mark Ruwedel. Both photographers have featured prominently in Large Glass’s programme over the years.
Known primarily as a Western landscape photographer, LA-based Mark Ruwedel (b.1954) has acknowledged a varied range of artistic influences from 19th Century photographers Carleton Watkins and Timothy H. O’Sullivan, as well as Earthworks artists such as Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer, to the New Topographics photographers.
He won the Scotiabank Photography Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship (both in 2014), was shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize (in 2019) and is currently shortlisted for the Prix Pictet (2021).
Ruwedel has had solo exhibitions at the Chinati Foundation, Marfa, Texas (US); Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver and Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Alberta (CA) and, most recently, the California Historical Society, San Francisco (US) and Tate Modern, London.
His work was included in notable group shows such as "Walker Evans Revisited", Biennale für Aktuelle Fotografie, Mannheim (DE); "Mapping Space", Getty Museum, Los Angeles (US); "The Extended Monument"" Morgan Library, New York (US).
Mark Ruwedel is currently showing "Between: Artist Books, Albums and Portfolios from his Photography Archive at Stanford Libraries"", Stanford, California (US).
Guido Guidi (b.1941) is one of Italy’s most respected photographers. In his career, spanning more than four decades, architectural history, neorealist film, and conceptual art have all played a significant role in shaping his unsentimental but also intensely personal images of rural and suburban landscapes in Italy and Europe.
Guidi’s work was included in the seminal exhibition "Viaggio in Italia" curated by Luigi Ghirri in 1984 and has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale (2004), Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (1989), Guggenheim Museum, New York (1994), Fotomuseum Winterthur (2014) and "Veramente", a retrospective, toured from the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation (Paris). A major exhibition of previously unseen and unpublished photographs taken in Sardinia, during two visits (1974 and 2011) was on view at MAN (Museo d’Arte Provincia di Nuoro), Sardinia (2019), accompanied by a publication (MACK) for which he was awarded the Hemingway prize (Premio Hemingway 2020) for Photography.
Guido Guidi is currently preparing for a major retrospective exhibition "From Zero", curated by Marta Dahó, at La Virreina, Barcelona due to open in October 2021.
Large Glass is an independent, commercial gallery. For a decade now, the gallery has worked with a range of significant international artists to conceive of and curate solo and group exhibitions through a particular and uncommon lens. The gallery’s effort is to show art in a wider cultural context that is thought provoking, rigorous, innovative and of exceptional quality. | | |

„MIGRATION engages a global dialogue, highlighting patterns of trauma, erasure, and reconstructed identities experienced by numerous nations and diasporic communities across the globe. Collectively the photographic sculptures in the series create a distorted constellation of imagery intended to suspend the viewer the multiple horizons of possibilities.“ Alia Ali

Her work is in collections at Princeton University, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the British Museum and numerous international private collections.

| | | | | | At this year's Photo London Atlas are showing new works by contemporary artists Nick Brandt, Bastiaan Woudt, Niko Luoma and Franco Fontana and an exceptional group of vintage works by masters such as Bill Brandt and Robert Capa.
The fair will be the official launch of Nick Brandt’s brand new series The Day May Break. This new collection, photographed in Zimbabwe and Kenya in late 2020, is the first part of a global series portraying people and animals that have been impacted by environmental degradation and destruction. The people and the animals in the photos were all affected by climate change, displaced by cyclones and repeated droughts. Photographed at five different sanctuaries, the animals were rescues which can never be re-wilded. As a result, it was safe for humans to be in proximity to them and photographed at close quarters within the same frame. The fog on location is the unifying visual, as we increasingly find ourselves in a kind of limbo, a once recognisable world now fading from view. However, in spite of their loss, these people and animals are the survivors. And therein lies possibility and hope.
With a dramatic approach to black and white Bastiaan Woudt reaches for universality through the abstraction of the individual traits into pure forms. In his portrait we aren’t presented with a specific person but rather an archetype of a woman that has become pure shape. His signature style– abstract yet sharp, with a strong focus on detail – permeate his new works, shown here for the first time. | | | | |

| | | | | | 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.
BILDHALLE present Ilona Langbroek’s personal series “Silent Loss”, which is based on her family’s history in the former Dutch East Indies. The Netherlands has a long history with the Dutch East Indies, which leave all kinds of traces that are reminiscent of the vast but also complex colonial past between these two countries. In fact, her work is about the lost identity of the large number of people who were forced to leave their country after the Independence and their emotions regarding this loss which are dormant but still very much alive.
Langbroek shoots purely intuitively based upon her memories of her grandmother: how she looked, her accent and tone of her voice. In addition, research is an important part of the work to find inspiration. By studying books, interviewing people from previous generations and scrutinizing old photo albums, Lang¬broek gets closer to the life of her grandparents in the Dutch East Indies. Furthermore, her ideas are re¬fined and elaborated in detail, in search of the right items, models, locations and clothing which are partly original antiques but were also specifically handmade based on her own ideas and designs. | | |
