PHOTOMONTH IN KRAKOW — 2010
TOM HUNTER
Tom Hunter (1965) – the first and only photographer thus far to be honoured with an exhibition at the National Gallery in London (Living in Hell and Other Stories, 2006). His photography draws from the paintings of the Old Masters. The protagonists of Hunter’s photographs are mainly young people with artistic aspirations living in Hackney – the eastern district of London. The Person Unknown Series of 1997 combines compositions reminiscent of Vermeer van Delft’s pictures with depictions of everyday activities performed by residents of London squats.
