"daydreams" - walls, part II (projections)

Evening,


it is with a slight delay that we'd like to share the second part of images from "daydreams" which we closed at the beginning of March. 

During the exhibition, we had two projections, with photos by Tina Kazakhishvili and Mano Svanidze. Each projection had its individual order and the photographs were displayed simultaneously, but the way the two sets interacted with each other was decided randomly by the projectors, depending on which projection started first on a given day. 


Here is section one, with double exposures and portraits by Tina:








and here is the second projection, with photos by Mano:






(the colours of the projection were difficult to capture, so visit the photographers' websites for reference)

"lost and found" Bargoed opening

Afternoon everyone,


today we'd like to share a few images from the opening day of Bargoed's "lost and found" exhibition.
A big thanks to all the visitors and everyone who has submitted their photographs!

And for those of you who didn't get the chance to bring their photos earlier, we have a scanner in the gallery and can help you digitise your old prints or negatives. They can also be added to the projection on our gallery wall.






 



The exhibition will be open Monday to Saturday, 10.30-6 till the 26th of March.
