Exhibition continues until 12th July, Dimbola is open 7 days a week 10am-5pm.
Dimbola Museum and Galleries presents evocative and moving images by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz as part of a year-long programme celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Julia Margaret Cameron.
Pilgrimage charts a new direction for Annie Leibovitz, one of America’s best-known living photographers. In the Spring of 2009, Annie visited Emily Dickinson’s house in Amherst, Massachusetts, and made a few photographs, just for herself. The visit led to a project that took Leibovitz to over two dozen sites, including Dimbola.
Unlike her staged and carefully lit portraits made on assignment for magazines and advertising clients, the photographs in this exhibition were taken simply because Leibovitz was moved by the subject. The exhibition speaks in a commonplace language to the photographer’s curiosity about the world she inherited, spanning landscapes both dramatic and quiet, interiors of living rooms and bedrooms, and objects that are talismans of past lives. Pilgrimage is an evocative and deeply personal statement by a photographer whose career now spans more than forty years, encompassing a broad range of subject matter, history and stylistic influences.
The wonderful hardback book created to accompany Pilgrimage and other publications by the photographer are available from the Dimbola gift shop.
