Michael Meyersfeld - retrospective

This retrospective traces the photographer's career from the mid 1970s to the present.

Meyersfeld's work is notable for its stark, sometimes sombre, lonely and edgy imagery that has separateness from reality. His more recent work involves the staging of people in structured scenes portraying mans' emotional and behavioural patterns. His titles are deliberately obtuse, nudging the viewer to uncover what memory or emotion that particular image has stirred in them, moving them to reflect and respond in their own personal world.

Meyersfeld has had fifteen previous exhibitions and has published two books. He has won numerous international awards, the most recent being a Gold at the prestigious London AOP Awards.

The exhibition will be open to the public from 10 May to 31 May at the ABSA Gallery, Upper Ground Floor, ABSA Towers North, 161 Main Street, Johannesburg.
