One of the major highlight of the Photo London program is Valérie Belin recipient of the Master Photography 2024, her solo exhibition “Silent Stories” offers a retrospective of her Berlin work spanning three decades.
Throughout her career, Belin has explored the tension between the superficial appearance of things and their true nature. Often using the human body as a vessel for abstraction and projected meaning, she has photographed live models and mannequins, masks and card sharks, dancers and bodybuilders, questioning the construction and fetishization of mainstream beauty ideals and enduring gender constructs.
