044 - Mark Neville
“Mark Neville has re-imagined what documentary photography could be, should be. Instead of the bland ‘deconstructions’ that pass so lazily as ‘critical’ in contemporary art, he makes extraordinary pictures and finds extraordinary ways to get them back to those he has photographed” — David Campany
In episode 044, Mark discusses, among other things:
- His upcoming exhibition, Child's Play
- New work in Ukraine
- Art school origins
- The Port Glasgow Book Project
- Deeds Not Words
- Experiences as a war artist and with PTSD
- Doing a book with Steidl
“If you look around at the world today, it’s pretty horrendous what’s happening, isn’t it? So I think as photographers we’ve got a real responsibility to say something about that and do something about it. And if really believe that just reproducing an image in a newspaper or having a show in a posh gallery is gonna change much then you’re WRONG.”
