Developing Dreams in Mo.tion during National Tree Week
A new photography exhibition Mo.tion, which uses old doors, window frames and other reclaimed wood, will open at The Foundry in Old Street during National Tree Week on 26th November.
The photographers Kati and Ian Byrne of Developing Dreams show impressions of life in countries such as Cuba, China, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Australia and France.
Ian Byrne, the founder of Developing Dreams, said: "The theme of Mo.tion is two-fold. It is about people and objects in motion as well as the photographers being in motion through their travels. These are like a collision of cultures and moments. The traveller becomes stationary and it is the world around him that moves. Instead of travelling around the world the world travels around the photographer and it is these moments you capture and show."
As part of Mo.tion, The Foundry will show short films by independent film maker Matthew Schroeder and artist Natalia Szostak including the award-winning music video "Window" featuring up and coming Polish artist Bajzel.
Mo.tion is on at The Foundry from 26th November until 7th December 2008. The launch event will be on Wednesday 26th November with live Jazz band and DJ.
During National Tree Week (26th November – 7th December), around one million trees are planted across the UK www.treecouncil.org.uk
