ARTIST TALK
Jack Latham is a graduate of the renowned documentary photography degree at Newport University. His work is often presented in a mixture of large format photography and film-making and has been exhibited and published internationally.
For BPF18, Latham takes inspiration from Oscar Wilde’s play The importance of Being Earnest. The play’s themes of dishonesty,
hypocrisy, ‘catfishing’ and morality are becoming ever more relevant in a digital age, and his series of images explore how a
new generation have to navigate and reconcile separate identities.
Find out more at the Artist Talk on 18th October 18.00 – 21.00 // FREE
