Photomonth, the east London photography festival which has more than 80 exhibitions and events in 50 galleries and spaces in east London is always well worth taking a look at. The last time I had a show at Photomonth was back in 2001 and I enjoyed the experience greatly.
David Hoffman (who took the above pic of me) has an online show for this years Photomonth, which you can take a look at here.
“Photographs of protest and confrontation that make up a slightly more radical representation of Britain on the streets over the last 30 years than the Tate thought fit for your delicate sensibilities.”
David Hoffman’s show is a response to the Tate Britian exhibition “How We Are – Photographing Britian” which was held this year. When I was going around the Tate show I kept on thinking that I was glad I had not paid to see it (thanks Greg) and I ended up thinking more about the gaps in the show then what I had just been looking at. so it’s great to see David Hoffman’s online show as it goes some way to filling in a few of those gaps in our photographic history here in Britian.
