Talking to Ants
Stephen Gill

Stephen Gill likes to test the limits that photography imposes on him. As a conceptual artist – and also a bit of a sociologist and poet – he experiments with various unusual techniques in his documentation of the district of Hackney in East London.

For his series “Talking to Ants”, he creates a confusion of scale by putting ants and other objects directly into the camera, resulting in a different kind of documentary photography, in which coincidence and human intervention create a new visual language.

These 16 images extracted from the serie “Talking to Ants” appear in a book published in 2014 by Nobody Books.

Year of production: 2009-2013
