Zoe Leonard: Observation Point

The Camden Arts Centre is currently playing host to the work of New York-born photographer Zoe Leonard. She’s transformed the venue’s Gallery 1 into a camera obscura (a darkened room), affected by the light coming from Gallery 3, using the space to display a series of photographs taken by pointing her camera directly at the sun. Meanwhile, she’s also presenting a collection of found images that she’s picked up here and there – postcards of Niagara Falls from many different angles, for example – raising questions about our individual perception of iconic images.

Make sure you get down to Brick Lane for this one.
