‘Long Exposures’ is Kim Coleman’s new expanded photography installation for R-Space Gallery which was developed from interviews the artist conducted with women in their late seventies who had experienced a major European blackout in 2025.
The installation presents light and sound alongside new large-scale photograms made in the artist’s flat, where photographic paper was placed beneath elements of the home that connect to wider infrastructures (internet cabling, routers, power cords, radiator pipes) and exposed to available domestic light (LEDs in sockets and routers, a mobile phone torch); in some instances, the subject exposing its own image.
