Litehouse Gallery is delighted to announce our participation in the internationally acclaimed Photo London Fair 2023
We will be representing Kazakhstani photographer Julia Flit who will be exhibiting twelve images from her series titled Protean Visions
Flit’s work is testament to the whimsical and the ethereal. Flit plays with the fluidity of water, orchestrating and shaping this protean element into a series of reflective mirrors pointed at the subject. Her subjects flow through the visual landscape with weightless ease, as the artist’s imagination opens entryways and passages into the unseen.
Of her own work, the artist says it revolves around the concept of ‘timelessness’; according to her ‘there is no young or old water. It’s an arcane concept of the human mind’. She believes water is a medium of infinite reflections and perceptions, and her goal as an artist is to document its choreography of light.
In her artistic process, photo editing has no place except for minor colour corrections. She uses unique techniques, to create vibrant bursts of colour. This way, she is able to highlight different layers of consciousness by altering the speed of light.
The eighth Photo London opens its doors at Somerset House from 11-14 May, with a special Preview Day on 10 May, and promises to be the most international edition to date. Litehouse Gallery will be joining the leading photography fair alongside over 110 galleries from all around the world.
Litehouse Gallery will be exhibiting in stand D8 in the Discovery Section.
Location: Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 1LA
