In times of political and social flux, a rather increasingly acerbic, satirical identity has been required, and Photographer David Dunnico is one of the people to have picked up that baton. David describes himself as a “sort of” documentary photographer, who has a proper job as well. He lives in Manchester, which is where he takes most of his pictures. These are nearly unchangingly part of long-term projects that he says, “start off as one thing and end up stuff well-nigh something else – which is sort of the point of doing them. ” This is reflected in the subject of his exhibitions, which have ranged from razzmatazz hoardings, the rise of CCTV, the imbricate diamond of George Orwell’s 1984, self-professed landmark buildings, urban trees and a forthcoming show well-nigh flags. But whatever his photographs are about, they usually mix polemics and an obvious love of absurdity. In this event, David will also be discussing Mark Page's photographic social documentary series Sodley-on-Sea. Based in an imaginary British seaside town, Mark constructs images found online to build dioramas that are photographed surpassing stuff destroyed. The idea for Sodley-on-Sea follows a long tradition of British documentary photography, from Tony Ray-Jones to Martin Parr, where the photographer has focused on seaside towns to explore the idiosyncrasies of British life. Mark noted that the seaside has unchangingly represented the British notion of escape and yet is a space tightly entrenched in the national psyche and cooperating with tradition. The work questions how the subject matter has wilt part of the documentary photographic tradition and raises questions well-nigh how representative the work truly is – particularly when scrutinizingly invariably carried out with a sneer. As such Sodley satirises both notions of Englishness and the entrenched documentary photographic tradition.   Who is it for?
