About the Item

Mikael Siirilä Helsinki, Finland, 2020 Handmade silver gelatin print. The fibre-based photograph is tea-toned, stamped, signed and numbered in pencil on sheet verso. Size 15 x 22 cm (5.9" x 8.6"), edition of 25. About the artist: Born in Helsinki in 1978, Mikael Siirilä approaches photography as a slow-paced and reflective practice. He collects observations from his life and travels and works in the darkroom to recontextualise them with recurring reflections on self, absence, presence and identity. Mikael Siirilä's reductionist images build on details and fragments. His subjects appear lost in thought and disconnected from time and identifiable places. His visual style can be recognised by the pronounced film grain, dominating black elements and image edges as a source of mystery and meaning. Mikael Siirilä works exclusively with black & white film and the silver gelatin process. The darkroom allows him to approach the photograph as a handmade object. Small variations in print editions reveal the artist's touch. Also, notably, Mikael Siirilä prefers to create photographs in relatively small size. For him, a photograph's true nature builds on the '1-hour photos' of his youth. Smaller size invites the viewer near. Studying the image becomes intimate, like reading a piece of poetry.

Untitled #22 (Man's Hands), 2013 - Limited Edition Silver Gelatin print
By Giacomo Brunelli
Located in Brighton, GB
Untitled #22 (Man's Hands) from the series Eternal London is a Limited Edition Silver Gelatin print by Giacomo Brunelli. This size of 9" x 12" from a Limited Edition of 10. As the edition sells through, the print increases in price to reflect rarity. Giacomo Brunelli was commissioned by The Photographer's Gallery, London, to capture the heart of the capital city where he lives. Made over the course of 2 years, Eternal London takes Brunelli's distinctive film noir aesthetic to create an evocative and atmospheric view of London, full of powerful light and shadow work. Framed by boldly abstract silhouettes of people and animals, London's famous landmarks are presented in a less-than-obvious way, reflected in the puddles that typify English weather or looming as a mysterious structure in the background. Captured during daily morning walks, Brunelli randomly chose a person to follow before focussing his camera on them. Working discreetly, like early 20th century photographers such as Jacob Riis...
