Wim Wenders
Early Works: 1964 — 1984
23 March — 5 May 2018
Blain|Southern London
Wim Wender’s exhibition of Early Works 1964-1984 at Blain|Southern London features Polaroids and black and white photographs from his personal archive, many never shown before.
Seeing the photos by Wim Wenders is refreshing in this time of heavily altered and photoshopped images. His photos show what he was seeing at the time, authentic and unaltered. Wenders himself says he is heavily influenced by painters in his work, both as a photographer and as a director and his love of American Realism is clearly reflected throughout the works in the exhibition. Each photo tells a story, whether it is the landscapes, the store fronts or the portraits.
A fascinating exhibition. Highly recommended.
