![]() ![]() I feel like an interloper, but it was great to meet, in Paris in 1999, the man who cared so much about how we see. I have a confession to make: mine is one photograph in the show. Imagine what he would say now at a time when more photographs are being taken than ever before, but so few are being looked at.īerger also said that a “huge ocean of drawings” must have formed since the first marks were drawn on a cave wall many thousands of years ago. While they were filming, Berger talked about the vast number of pictures that had been taken since the invention of photography. Berger and Christie wrote to each other for many years. The Norwich show was the brainchild of artist Martin Battye and his good friend John Christie, who co‑directed Another Way of Telling, the BBC series based on Berger’s book on photography. ![]() The show includes more than 40 pieces and embraces many different styles, but strangely all of them look as if they could have come from the same caring, slow hand. There is something about a room filled with monochrome drawings that slows you down enough to enjoy the simple beauty of marks on paper. ![]()
