Meet the Photographer Rolf Kraehenbuehl relaxed event at Oriel Colwyn

Photography by Rolf Kraehenbuehl in the exhibition at Oriel Colwyn

Disability Arts Cymru & TAPE. Meet the Photographer in a relaxed environment.

Date: Thursday 26th June

Time: 14:00 - 15:00

Oriel Colwyn in Colwyn Bay is currently showing Rolf Kraehenbuehl’s analogue photography project “Corpus | Delicti”.

Paul Sampson, the curator at Oriel Colwyn, and Rolf invite members and staff of Disability Arts Cymru and TAPE for a guided private visit to the exhibition.

The project visualises the photographer’s experience of promenades and the built environment in seaside locations. It is an exploration on how we can use the photographic material to record traces other than light, of the materiality of what is photographed, and how this can be reflected and recorded in images.

We can provide factual descriptions of the photographs, and if required offer close-up viewing of the prints.
