Village and New Dimension are proud to present a new solo exhibition and celebration of the book “𝘈𝘵 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘎𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥” by photographer Charlie Tallott at Village, Leeds. The exhibition opens on Friday 16th August from 6pm - 9pm and continues until Sunday 15th September.

“The images in Charlie Tallott’s new photo book, 𝘈𝘵 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘎𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥, are vivid, unflinchingly intimate, and animated with a sense of energy that’s suggestive of the living world beyond the edges of the frame. Flicking through the debut monograph, the viewer can almost feel the crimson scratches on a boy’s bare back, or the textured strands of wet hair, or the raindrops illuminated by Tallott’s flash. His subjects wear bruises and casts, ripped jeans or nothing at all. The word the Leeds-born, London-based photographer uses for the feeling behind the work? “Agitation.”” - Dazed

Tallott uses photography as a refuge, capturing snapshots of his daily life and the people around him, revealing the complexity of life through fleeting tender, violent, lonely, and rare moments. His oversaturated aesthetic gives a euphoric yet hazy quality to the images, reflecting half-forgotten memories and stolen glances.

The book’s title, inspired by his mother’s aphorisms, embodies the idea that all things must pass and serves as a reminder to exist in the moment. Tallott’s work in “𝘈𝘵 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘎𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥” won the Photo London Emerging Photographer Award 2024.
