Tony Kemplen presents 52 Cameras in 52 Weeks, an online exhibition of 52 photographs taken by 52 different cameras.
Tony Kemplen will be showing this work as part of this year’s FORMAT Festival, FORMAT21: Control in their online venue at New Art City, launching 11 March.
The exhibition of 52 Cameras in 52 Weeks will be shown at Artcore Gallery in 2021 and will comprise a selection the photographs and the corresponding cameras used to make them. The cameras and the photos represent a wide range of cameras, techniques and subjects, and Tony’s approach to image making is every bit as important as the technical aspects of the project.
