Victor Burgin | Water Under the Bridge: Bodies Now and Then

The conference is organised in the context of the exhibition "Staged Bodies" highlighting the many ways in which the human body has been represented in photography since 1970. Starting from his extensive photo-text work "The Bridge" (1984), which is part of the exhibition, Victor Burgin will discuss the the  mise-en-scène of the body in The Bridge in the light of what might appear as the ‘absence' of the body in his 2019 work Afterlife. Beginning at 6.30 pm, Burgin's talk will be followed by an exchange with the audience.
