“Acts of Disappearance”, winning exhibition of the PARALLEL Award 2018, was presented at Photo London Fair between May 16^th and 19^th.

Curated by Bruno Humberto, the exhibition brings together the work of six artists: Morten Barker, Ida Nissen, Nuno Barroso, Joshua Phillips, Emanuel Cederqvist and Thomas M Wynne.

Each artist is concerned with the idea of subjective landscape: an impermanent and transitory vision that exists in the mind of the beholder only at the very moment it is seen, before being then lost forever.

The landscape has inspired artists for centuries to work directly from nature, responding to what they perceive in front of them. But for a new generation of photographers observable and objective reality in landscape is a difficult and elusive idea, always just out of reach. Instead they approach landscape as a fictional narrative surface onto which individual sensitivities are projected.
Each of these photographers goes beyond simply documenting the world and considers our gaze as an act of interested observation.
