Шаблон:Short description Alexandra Lethbridge (born 1987)[1] is a Hong Kong-born conceptual artist working with photography and installation, living in the UK.[2] She self-published The Meteorite Hunter in 2014, work from which was exhibited at The Photographers' Gallery in London.[3] The Path of an Honest Man was exhibited at Format Festival in Derby[4] and work from Other Ways of Knowing exhibited at The Lumiere Brothers Center for Photography in Moscow.[5]
Early life and education
Lethbridge was born in Hong Kong.[2] She studied at Winchester School of Art at the University of Southampton in the UK, and at the International Center of Photography in New York City. She earned a Masters in Photography from the University of Brighton in the UK.[6]
Work
"By leaving out information, changing the scale of an image or altering colours, Lethbridge's photos make the viewer pause to wonder what exactly is going on."[1]
The Meteorite Hunter "is an investigation into meteorites and the illusory realms they represent."[7] "Meteorite hunters search for treasures from space, pushing aside the terrestrial in a quest for the alien. Alexandra Lethbridge sees their work as a metaphor for how people are too often chasing the exotic at the expense of the familiar. [. . . ] The photo book documents the work of a fictional meteorite prospector and the stunning otherworldly locales her objects come from. [. . . ] But here's the twist. The pictures depict the wonders of earth and space, but you don't know what's what."[8]
Other Ways of Knowing "explores the notions of surprise and beguilement, creating a fantastical history that raises fascinating questions around how our perceptions can be guided, manipulated and fooled." "Lethbridge makes us think about the reliability of photography itself."[9]
The Path of an Honest Man "looks at the misaligment between communication and understanding".[4] The Archive of Gesture "utilises found images, still life photography and digital interventions to explore the role of gesture in communication".[10][11]
