Photographer Tierney Gearon’s latest exhibition, Explosure, utilises the “mistake” of a double exposure to merge two fairly benign images into something much more provocative. Revealing how the emotion of any image can be altered by removing it from its original context.

"The epitome of an outcome being greater than the sum of its parts. Like a collision of two memories - displaced by time and space yet still showcasing the struggle of one human mind. Often one half seems to be alive and active, and one half seems to be suspended by the action of the others. Like a phantom, bound to the focus of its silent watching forever though the unmoving image. Unclear whether the mix is a person remembering the past or fantasizing the future, each shot collides image and expectation into a sort of lucid photographic dream."











If you’re lucky enough to be in London, Explosure is running until January 27 at Phillips de Pury & Company.
