Slow Talk
Opening Nov 21, 2013 at 07:30 pm
Start date Nov 21, 2013
End date Jan 25, 2014

The exhibition 'Slow Talk' - the first individual show of this photographer in Spain - will be composed of twenty-eight images in which his camera captures serene and fragile moments in which the invisible presence of life is revealed. The selection comprises pieces from six of his most representative series, where white is predominant. This is the case with Portraits of Time, created in 1998. In this series, Koo creates compositions that eliminate the spatial context and do not focus on particular objects but rather on the textures and sensations of a blank wall. "The works shown in this exhibition are the result of an accumulation of personal journeys through the careful observation of nature and myself", explains the artist. "The notable void and emptiness in the images deliver susceptibilities of the mind’s eye to viewers". The exhibition will also include work from his series White and Pencil of Nature, which depict white walls and snow covered ground subtly marked by vegetation. The show, which will be open at Ivorypress until 25 January 2014, performs more recent works from the series Vessel; white porcelain objects captured by a large-format camera and long exposure times in order to reproduce their shape in a delicate and austere way.
