Stephen Gill
Speaking Friday 3rd July
Stephen Gill is an experimental, conceptual and documentary photographer whose practice often incorporates references to his residential area. Gill became interested in photography in early childhood, encouraged by his father and an obsession with collecting insects and pond life for inspection under his microscope.
For his early series Hackney Wick (2005) Gill used a Bakelite camera purchased at the eponymous fleamarket to create a series of images of this diverse and decaying area, which later underwent a dramatic transformation to become the site of the 2012 Olympic Games.
