Event details
Digital manipulation of images, once a novelty in photography, has come of age as a practice that is beginning to share common ground with documentary photography. Reality and virtuality are coming together in a new manner of telling stories, in this case, stories about our collective memory. Colette Campbell-Jones (USA) has produced a cultural document about the extinct coal mines of Wales. Drawing on centuries-old oral traditions, Stories from Underground reconstructs a picture of a strong community, shrouded in an archetypal darkness.
