Michael Hoppen Gallery, London - Free!

 
The Michael Hoppen Gallery is very proud to present the first exhibition in the UK of vintage prints from Masahisa Fukase’s 'Solitude of Ravens'.
The visual narrative of the series revolves around the anthropomorphic form of the raven. Dead and alive the birds punctuate the work; lone birds reduced to shadow puppetry against the snow or dislocated flocks that mimic the grain of the photographs themselves. Although interjected with other subjects such as blizzard streaked streets, it is the recurrent presence of the ravens that sets the ominous and cinematic tone of the work.
Venue on Jubilee Place off Kings Road, London SW3 3TD
