Nathan Miller: Somewhere in Jaffa
SOHO Gallery is well known for its promotion of dramatic and provocative works by up-and-coming artists. For the first time it will display a photography exhibition, ‘Somewhere in Jaffa’, by Australian photographer Nathan Miller. Launching on 9 May 2015 it will be running until 5 June 2015 as part of Sydney’s Head On Photo Festival.
‘Somewhere in Jaffa’ is a meander through the ancient streets and laneways of multicultural Jaffa, on Tel Aviv’s south side. Jews, Christians, and Muslims not only live together in peace but thrive in an atmosphere of culture, entertainment, and good food. Miller captures the diversity, hospitality and complexities of his subjects through starkly beautiful black and white photography, heightening the contradictions of life in Jaffa.
“My interest in photography lies in the visual storytelling of people and places, and in capturing moments and certain realities that are often not seen by others.” Miller says, “I hope ‘Somewhere in Jaffa’ can transcend some of these cultural beauties as well as contribute to Australians’ overall understanding of Jaffa’s vivid cultural identity.”
‘Somewhere in Jaffa’ is a singular exhibition, and an excellent selection for SOHO’s first photographic exhibition, opening on the 9th of May with a talk from the artist at 2pm May 17.
Exhibition: May 9 – June 5, Soho Galleries Sydney – 104 Cathedral St, Sydney.
Artist Talk: May 17, 2pm. Further information: https://headon.com.au/exhibitions/somewhere-jaffa#sthash.3pTd2DXa.dpuf
