| Amanda Young awaits the city wide photography festival | ||
This is Lux, the eleventh Annual Photographic festival by students graduating from the BA Hons. Photography course at Nottingham Trent University. The work on show crosses boarders of contemporary photography and moving image whilst topics range from landscape, documentary to fashion and fine art. Photographer Kamaljeet Phullar evokes a historical/contemporary confrontation in his work. He presents images of modern day figures in sitting that are part of a multi-cultural society today. However, these are strongly reminiscent of the traditional western painting format of Queens and Popes carrying great history with them. Could these figures be regal with blue blood and do today's artists carry forth the importance of the individual social figure as markers of new history? On show from 5–15 June, the prints and projections can be found at established galleries, disused office and retail spaces and cafes. Information on the projects and a map of the venues is available to download from the website Lux Festival website Gallery of sample photos from the exhibition Comment (2) Socialise
