Paul Reas will be in conversation with Jean-Christophe Godet at 6pm in the Frossard Theatre, please secure your ticket as capacity is limited. The Guernsey Photography Festival and Guernsey Museum are very proud to present this retrospective (1982-2012) of one of the most respected and influential British documentary photographers.Fables of Faubus tells the story of the British working class in 6 distinct chapters. Reas describes the work as focusing on “the years of decline of industry and the fall out from that, communities being de-centred and levelled”. But behind the layers of detail in each photograph lies the story of Reas’s own journey through photography. The exhibition uncovers how the various personal and commercial projects Reas has worked on have gradually shaped his artistic vision over the years.This extraordinary body of work is presented chronologically, revealing 30 years of social and economic change in Britain as well as Reas’s personal artistic development through the decades. Tickets are FREE. Ticket holders are welcome to join us for a private view of the exhitbion after the talk.
