DayFour returns to London with captivating images
LONDON, UK Prestigious photography magazine DayFour is returning to leading East London photographic gallery, theprintspace, this winter for a special exhibition, documenting the lives of 37 contributors around the world.
DayFour is a well-respected annual photography magazine, sharing the philosophy that in an ideal world, we could all work for three days a week, have a three day weekend and on the final day work on a project of our own that we are passionate about.
Six years ago, a group of photographers took part in the first Ulysses project. The idea is to take a photograph every hour, on the hour from waking up to going to sleep – no matter what you are doing.
Ulysses Day II is the sequel, involving 37 photographers around the world, documenting their lives as they happened on 29 June, 2009. There are simple rules; you cannot stage your photograph and you have to work with whatever’s in front of you, no matter what.
The result is a fascinating collection of the normal, the abnormal, boredom, excitement, loneliness, love and beauty of our daily lives. Meet the families, the pets, the cars, and streets that shape these photographers lives.
Ullysses II opens at theprintspace with a great opening night on Thursday, 2 December 2010 7pm-10pm (refreshments will be provided) and continues until 5 January 2011 Monday-Friday 9am-7pm (except for Christmas, 24 December – 4 January). Admission free.
