Hunter Barnes The People Exhibition Opening and Artist Slideshow Tuesday June 30th |
|
ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER: Hunter Barnes is a documentary photographer who focuses his artistic gaze on the faces of proud groups of people who are consistently misrepresented in the modern American narrative. Under the tutelage of Dr. R. Heist, he earned a Degree in Photography and Photochemistry. Distinguishing himself from his photographer peers through the integrity of his process from concept to print, he shoots exclusively in Black and White Film and Polaroid 665 Negatives and prints his own images adhering to the archival darkroom methods of the generations of masters who preceded him. Since the publication of his first book, Hunter has mounted five solo shows in NYC and Santa Fe, N.M.. Milk Gallery currently exhibits his latest work exclusively. With A World Away in 2006, he exhibited a collection of images captured while living in the Tamil villages in Sri Lanka that were affected by the Tsunami and the on going civil war and introduced his written journal entries into the gallery of his images. ABOUT THIS SERIES: A rare glimpse into the life of the Peace Dreamers, The People is a four-year documentary project on the Ni Mii Puu (Nez Perce) Native American people of Lapwai, ID and Nespelam, WA. These images are from a world that Hunter was invited into
as a trusted friend-a world largely unseen and ignored- where life is simple
and very complex.
