Bruce Wang: About Face Exhibition Preview

Photographer Bruce Wang strives to capture the act of seeing, and being seen. About Face explores unique relationships, aiming to redress the sense of isolation and alienation that results from our ‘society of lost connections’. Wang seeks, ‘to see how people dress up and subsequently hide’. The relationship between photographer and model is evident: Wang likes to get in close, to empathise rather than objectify. His subjects are charismatic performers, artists and activists living in London, invited to model because of their vibrancy and wit. Simply cropped, with no special effects, Wang’s pictures are praised for their honesty and realness. - Adapted from statement by Bruce Wang Peter Bedford Housing Association is proud to present Wang’s second exhibition at Outpost Shop and Gallery social enterprise, showcasing 50 photographs taken over a period of 6 years.
