Overview
Casula Powerhouse is hosting two exhibitions during the citywide Head On Photo Festival. First up is Platforms by Natan Dvir, a photo series that takes the New York underground, its architecture and its people as a subject. Dvir is interested in the way subway platforms, divided as they are by columns and pillars, often resemble a roll of photographic film, as well as the voyeuristic opportunities and subtle interaction — or studious avoidance of it — that commuting involves.
Also showing is Spy/Spy, a series of portraits and candid/street photography by Julien Mignot and Fred Stucin shot during the 2015 and 2016 Cannes Film Festivals. Mignot and Stucin were there working for various magazine publications and the exhibition explores the private, less polished parts of the festival that didn't end up in glossy print. Think candid shots of models en route to red carpets, snaps of fans coordinating along the Croisette and reflective, shy portraits of celebrities normally known for their rambunctiousness.
Both exhibitions open May 5 with Platforms ending on May 28 and Spy/Spy staying on till June 18.
