Zoe Leonard: Aerials
Intriguing exhibition at Hauser & Wirth of photographs by Zoe Leonard. These pictures were aerial photographs which seemed to abstract the subject and make you look closely at the details. My favourites were those of towns and cities reducing them to a grid pattern but they pulled you eye in to look for signs of people. I liked the way they were framed by the black edge of the negative so they felt self-contained. I also liked one of a tiny boat on a huge expanse of sea. I liked the way these pictures were shown like painted art works however I thought they were a bit small and dull for this large space, although again it made you go up and look at the detail.
