Mark Power Exhibition.

On Thursday 23rd February, I went to see an exhibition at Impressions Gallery by Mark Power, called The Sound of Two Songs.  The project, started in 2004, was made in Poland over 5 years.  I thought that the project showed two sides to Poland.  There were photos of a country that is starting to develop and become more 'Western', and there were also photos of a country that seemed very under developed.  The photos definitely had a contrast between the west and the east.

I liked the layout of the work, each image was separated by enough white space to let you look at each image without being distracted.  Also, the prints were very large, with lots of detail, which meant you could really study the photographs.  Some photographs had quite bland colours, which gave a run down feel, but other images had very vivid colours, which helped give the impression that the country was developing, with more western influences.

I really liked this exhibition, and will continue to look at Mark Powers work.
