The Kunsthalle Rostock in Germany presents Less is more, next exhibition by British photographer Rankin (John Rankin Waddell).
“I really believe in photography that makes you think as well as feel something. Less is More is the first time I’ve brought my more conceptual work together. It does what it says on the tin: showing fewer pieces that have more meaning to me”. The show is a moment of reflection, a carefully curated collection of work that gives you the time and space to absorb the ideas and craft. It’s all about human emotion and evoking a gut reaction. “We now live in a world populated by billions of wannabe photographers and have come to interact with photography through screens. Society and social media have shifted the medium away from how we explore the world to how we showcase ourselves. We live in an age of ‘brand me’ and smart phones have become the tool to do this… upload, download, overload. I want to put people face-to-face with photography, to stop them in their tracks, to get them thinking about work that is not necessarily entirely serious but is more than just the slip of a finger on a phone”.
