Following the success of his show to sold out audiences at the 2015 Edinburgh Festival, Berlin artist Volker Gerling comes to Aberdeen to demonstrate his unique visual art form: Portraits in Motion.
Volker has reinvented a personalized way of coupling the power of the still image with the adventure of movement, producing unexpected results. In order to obtain his subjects, he has walked over 3,000km around Europe, seeking out interesting people with engaging stories to portray, while spending his nights in a tent. Unusually, he does not take money with him on his months-long photographicjourneys, but exhibits his artistic work en route and once a week selects asubject to feature in a ‘flipbook’. The results are often startling and always poignant as he reveals in his captivating presentation, which will be followed by a discussion with Professor Alan Marcus and an audience Q&A.
A reception will be held afterwards in the James Mackay Hall.
