On Divorce – Portraits and voices of separation
Aug 27th – Oct 27th
Our culture is obsessed with finding romantic love and yet about half of marriages end prematurely, often with people feeling shame and stigma.
This work was made over a two year period and consists of portraits (of around 50 people) accompanied by thoughts and observations in the first person.
The testimonies were transcribed from interviews made on the day of each shoot. The stories are a mirror that can help to correct some of what we think we know of divorce and pull us in a different direction: towards compassion, identification, curiosity, self-reflection and empathy.
This exhibition is part of the THE EYE International Photography Festival 2024
