Description
“Every subject is a reason to make a picture.”
Born in 1946 in Vancouver, Canada, Jeff Wall is one of the most intriguing and influential artists working in photography today. His signature works are large-scale transparencies mounted in light boxes in the manner of billboard advertisements. Wall’s photographs celebrate everyday life, often ones he has observed while driving around the streets of his native Vancouver and then re-created, using actors. With their diverse references to film, literature and the history of art, Wall’s photographs repay close study. Six key works are examined in depth in this survey, which includes rich material from new interviews with the artist and an overview of his career to date. Author Craig Burnett is a writer and editor. Originally from Vancouver, he now lives in London.
