Peta Wilson Instagram – Congratulations Emma on the new Show!!!!
Amazing… the power of Love …the best inspiration… @emmasummerton ‘s Solo Exhibition: https://christopheguye.com/exhibitions/landed/introduction Christophe Guye Galerie is very pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of Australian photographer and artist Emma Summerton, titled Landed. This world premiere focuses on the artist’s Polaroid work, which is part of a project that was initially created as visual love letters in a long-distance relationship. The Polaroids also launched her career in photography – providing her with a kind of landing, so to speak. Beside a large selection of her most expressive and greatly enlarged Polaroids, a super 8 film projection will be on view, as well as a cabinet with paraphernalia from the creation of the works.
Emma Summerton (*1970 Australia) graduated from the National Art School in Sydney, where she studied fine arts majoring in Photography. Summerton moved to London in 1998, where she worked as an assistant to artist Fiona Banner while starting her career as a photographer.
Her breakthrough as a professional photographer came with the collaboration with Terry de Havilland in 2004/2005, from which the exhibition shows a large selection of the most important works, which are only now being made available for the first time. Since then Summerton has established herself as one of the most talented photographers to emerge in the mid 2000’s. Her in-depth technical knowledge coupled with her eye for detail and love for fashion have made her images not only unique but very distinctive, setting her apart from other photographers working in the industry today.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information or interview requests. An invitation to the opening reception for the artist will follow shortly.
Sincerely,
Christophe Guye
