<div><p><i>Double Exposures</i> is a new collaborative venture between Manuel Vason and forty of the most visually arresting artists working with performance in the UK. Ten years after his first, groundbreaking book,<i>Exposures</i>, Vason has produced another extraordinary body of work, which sets out new ways of bridging performance and photography.</p><p>For <i>Double Exposures, </i>Vason has worked with<i></i>two groups of artists, using two distinct types of collaboration, to produce a series of double images. Artists who had previously worked with Vason were invited to create two images, one of their own practice and another, where they took on the role of the photographer, shaping an image with Vason’s body. A second group of new collaborators were invited to create a performance, which could be captured in two photographs. All the images exist as doubles – pairs – diptychs.</p><p><i>Double Exposures</i> includes commissioned essays on photography and performance by David Bate, David Evans, Dominic Johnson, Lois Keidan, Alice Maude-Roxby, Adrien Sina, Chris Townsend, and Joanna Zylinska and an interview with Helena Blaker. Themes explored include the body, the diptych, documentation, encounters, identity, mediation and the relationship between photography and performance.<br>In photography, a ‘double exposure’ can be accidental or deliberate. Both types permeate<i>Double Exposures</i>, making it Manuel Vason’s most ambitious project to date.</p><p>Confirmed collaborators included in <i>Double Exposures</i>: Alexandra Zierle &amp; Paul Carter, Aaron Williamson, Áine Phillips, Alistair MacLennan, Ansuman Biswas, Eloise Fornieles, Elvira Santamaría Torres, Ernst Fischer, Florence Peake, Franko B , Giovanna Maria Casetta, Harold Offeh, Helena Goldwater, Helena Hunter, Hugo Glendinning, jamie lewis hadley, Joshua Sofaer, Julia Bardsley, Mad for Real, Marcia Farquhar, Marisa Carnesky, Martin O'Brien, Mat Fraser, Michael Mayhew, Mouse, Noëmi Lakmaier, Oreet Ashery, Rajni Shah &amp; Lucille Acevedo-Jones, Rita Marcalo, Ron Athey, Sinead O'Donnell, Stacy Makishi, The Famous Lauren Barri Holstein, The Vacuum Cleaner.
