Brian Griffin is a British photographer who sets out in this contemporary moment in this incredible place that is the college Bernardine .
exposure is very small, almost a bit disappointing in size: twenty pictures that summarize the work of this great photographer. The exhibition entitled The Black Country the name of the region of origin of Brian Griffin (the industrial district west of Birmingham) juxtaposes images of the artist with anecdotes about her childhood and his family. So she takes a turn very personal and it is often affected by these secrets about the lives of people who lived in a world of the past: industrial England of the 50s, its coal mines, its dirt. Brian Griffin said
this is the place of the College of Bernardine, especially the former sacristy is located in the exhibition that prompted him to reveal himself so as personal. Moreover, the exhibition is full of spirituality whose place is impregnated.
I was less convinced of photos, very unrealistic, stagings, dramatized in the image of the exhibition poster (left) or this photograph of the author's mother.
After Exposure (free), you can go take a shot in the cafeteria of the place, situated in the beautiful vaulted nave of the ground floor. Prices are reasonable: € 1.60 as for an espresso, 2.60 € for a cappuccino, 3 € for a tea.
If you do not already know the college Bernardine, I invite you to discover its website which has many activities including conferences, exhibitions, cinema etc..
