Some of his work:
Benjy creates pictures with a sense of choreography mixed with photography called choreo-photolist. He does this by implementing random objects and editing his images in a way that makes the picture seem out of the ordinary. This is one thing he wants us to consider, the extraordinary. He focuses on race and discrimination
Chris Killip booklet
Killip was born in Douglas, Isle of Man; his parents ran the Highlander pub. He left school at 16 to work as a trainee hotel manager, while also working as a beach photographer.[4] In 1964, aged 18, he moved to London where he worked as an assistant to the advertising photographer Adrian Flowers.[4] He soon went freelance, along with periods working in his father's pub on the Isle of Man.[4] In 1969, Killip ended his commercial work to concentrate on his own photography. The work from this time was eventually published by the Arts Council as Isle of Man: A Book about the Manx in 1980 with a text by John Berger. In 1972, he was commissioned by the Arts Council to photograph Bury St Edmunds and Huddersfield,[4] and in 1975 he won a two-year fellowship from Northern Arts to photograph the northeast of England.[2] He moved to Newcastle-upon-Tyne to pursue this work,[4] which Creative Camera devoted its entire May 1977 issue to.
Fragmented buildings-Patrick Cornillet
Patrick Cornillet is a French architectural painter born in 1968 in France. He lives and works in Nantes. His recent work features austere constructions in empty surroundings. Fragments of architecture left in the center of the painting, in suspense by its visitors. His works capture their spectators in an illusory space. Because of this the viewer struggles to give an interpretation to these concrete structures. Unclear is if these structures have ever served a purpose other than confusing its viewers.
Cornillet’s more recent work can be viewed as ‘severe’ or ‘naked’. Similar to his previous work a feeling of motion is perceived in these structures. These images evoke the ruins of a fallen society, standing as naked as fragmented.
