Hiroshi Sugimoto 'Time Machine' exhibition at the Hayward Gallery

Image
On Saturday we were fortunate to visit the Hayward Gallery at the South Bank in London to see the retrospective exhibition of the work of Japanese photographer Sugimoto.  The pictures were all printed very big and they were stunning. And I mean really stunning. We had already learnt what an amazing exhibition it was going to be by the cloakroom attendant in the Hayward who rhapsodised about it and said it was the best photographic exhibition the gallery had put on for years. I liked best the theatre and the sea pictures, and least the waxwork portraits interesting as the thought behind them was. The space at the Hayward was theatrical in itself and I could not resist the odd photo.  

Back to Tate Modern

I seem to have a fascination for the interior of Tate Modern, especially the concrete staircase of the Blavatnik Building. So here are a few more pictures of this, and also a few straying into the original building. Following on are some images from the South Bank which I took a stroll down to from the Tate. It was a hot day and a lot of people were taking advantage of the sunshine.

The South Bank

Another day, another video. this one is rather different and set on London's South Bank. The pictures were taken in April this year.

A few thoughts from the South Bank and Gursky

Some images from a visit into London to see the work of some highly talented artists at the Oxo Tower, and also view the Gursky exhibition at the Hayward Gallery. I was very moved by the Gursky, not something I was expecting.
