Daniel Meadows interview now on YouTube.
On Friday 8 April 2022 I travelled to Germany for the opening of my exhibition Suburbia in the East Gallery at the Kunsthalle in Darmstadt where, before an audience, I was interviewed for the gallery's live-streamed YouTube channel. The event had been billed as a three-cornered conversation between the exhibition's curator Ralph Goertz, myself and Robert Darch whose work is showing in the West Gallery.

Agee didn't have a rule book to tell him what precisely to document. So he precisely documented everything: from the depth of dust in a drawer to his passionate feelings for one of his subjects. Here he observes a family preparing to be photographed by Evans: "...looking into your eyes and seeing thus, how each of you is a creature which has never in all time existed before and which shall never in all time exist again and which is not like any other and which has the grand stature and natural warmth of every other..."
