Jeff Wall

Despite feeling rather sick this morning I made a trip to the MCA to catch the last day of Jeff Wall's photographic exhibition. It was fantastic. I can't believe how much thought and effort goes towards his photographs. For example it took him up to five years to produce an image based on a scene from a novel. Wall uses a 100 year old camera to shoot his photographs but however uses the process of photomontage to edit and bring the photograph together. Also the way he displays his photographs through a transparent light box gives it a contemporary edge. Such a creative character! more info
