Group exhibition at Dark Gallery CPH, Denmark (2025)

On June 7th 2025, I took part in the group exhibition 'Documentarian 1: Emerging Voices in Documentary Photography’, at Dark Gallery CPH in Copenhagen, Denmark. I showed a slideshow of photographs from three circles around the sea”, along with music I composed for the project, prints and a copy of my book.

Some text from the exhibition launch:

Emerging Voices in Documentary Photography
Bringing together six emerging photographers from around the world, Documentarian 1 explores how the documentary image can serve as a deeply personal, cultural, and political tool. Curated by Luke Adekoya Campbell, the exhibition challenges the idea of documentary as a fixed record of truth—instead presenting it as a fluid, subjective medium shaped through both the act of making and the act of seeing.

From traditional reportage to experimental approaches, the works on display reflect the evolving nature of documentary practice today. They raise questions about who tells the story, how it is told, how we interpret what we see—and how the documentary image can both reflect and shape our understanding of the world around us.

Featuring works by Colin Aherne, Lidewij Mulder, Marta Dias, Anna Mensing, Gilberto Zamorano & Maria Fynsk Norup.
