Millennium Images present: "Nocturnes"by Lydia Goldblatt
The setting for this series of images by Lydia Goldblatt is that of a London nightclub. In a project undertaken alongside Royal College of Art graduate, Lucy Levene, her work explores an environment of abandon, fantasy and desire that exists only in the dreamtime of darkness. It presents a world that is exclusively populated and controlled by youth, from which all other sections of society are exiled. Using available light and slow exposures, she creates images that combine rich colours and movement to visually mirror the sensuality and surreal quality of the setting. A sense of unruly freedom passes through the work; a freedom that we know will end with sunrise.
Included in the series are a sequence of un-posed portraits of individuals and couples, which explore moments of isolation and connection. In each of the photographs, we see people who are self-absorbed and isolated from their surroundings. Whilst some of these are passive spectators of the world around them, and others are living within their own, separate fantasies, all of them are characterised by a feeling of absorption and separateness that becomes the underlying subject of the work.
Lydia Goldblatt is a London-based photographer who graduated from University College London in 2001. Since then she has created work for international brands such as Pepsi, Guinness, Renault and Citroen. She has also been commissioned by major publishing agencies, and by leading editorial clients such as the Guardian Weekend Magazine. Her work is featured in private art collections both in the UK and abroad.
