Dreamland created for Northern Design Festival

RENOWNED photographer, Sasa Savic has collaborated with digital artist Graham Taylor for a new exhibition as part of the Northern Design Festival this week.

The Dreamland exhibition which opens on October 17 for one night, will showcase a series of images which play with reality and are a vision of many different fantasy worlds. The ‘reality’ is photographed, taken apart and reassembled in order to be presented as an entirely new form of realism.

A short film by filmmaker, Chad Hodgson and sculptor Jennifer Jane Allinson will be premiered at the exhibition which explores an artistic view of human transformation. The concept aims to draw attention to individual details in nature while exploring human responses to it.

Sasa said: “I believe that photography is not only about capturing beauty or moments in time, but experimenting with different methods and technologies while still attempting to captivate a range of human emotions within images which is why I am very excited to be involved with the festival this year.

“To collaborate with Graham Taylor on this project has been fantastic and has allowed me to explore a new range of techniques, which have delivered beautiful results and an exhibition which enables individuals to experience completely new worlds.”

The festival which is in its 8th year will celebrate the theme of Create:Digital and examine how advances in digital technologies over the last few years have had a huge impact across design.

The festival aims to promote and support creative industries in the North of England to raise standards and provide regional and national platforms to showcase the quality of design being produced in the region.

The exhibition can be viewed at the Goldspink Studios on the 17th of October from 5.30pm until 8.30pm. For free tickets and further information please contact mail@sasasavic.com.
