This week we are going to focus on photographers exhibiting at the Brighton Photo Biennial and Photo Fringe.
First up is Melanie Clark and her project ‘Archive Revivial’.
Within the series, Melanie has digitally projected photos taken by relatives back into their home environment and then re-photographed the result.

At her exhibition in the Old Co-op Building, the works have been installed inside wooden lightboxes, built by her brother, who is in shown in one of the images.
The effect adds a compelling new dimension to the family album.

‘Countryside’ is a project in progress.
From the photographer: “These photographs, from a work still in progress, are taken in the English countryside. I choose a place, sometimes for a specific reason, but more often guided by the poetics of village names (Cold Christmas, Nasty, Little Gidding, Good Easter…) and explore from there. Driving and walking I search for pictures that speak of this iconic yet hard to define thing “The Countryside” and the interplay of the ideas and feelings evoked by it: tradition and modernity, nostalgia, our relationship with nature and to what we eat, the underlying cycle of seasons and festivals.
“The finished project will be a journey from one winter to another formed of the encounters between the countryside of my imagination and contemporary rural England.”
