THE work of three foreign-born photographers will be displayed at a Pontypool gallery until the start of next month.

The 76m2 gallery unveiled its new exhibition “other places” on Saturday, September 16, featuring images from three analogue photographers: Satomi Sugiyama, Corrado Costetti and Toralf Sümmchen.

“None of the artists live in their home towns and two of them have moved continents,” said Zosia Krasnowolska, one of the gallery’s curators.

“Corrado moved from his home in Jesi, Marche in central Italy to Naples in Campania; Satomi moved from Osaka to Los Angeles and Toralf, who comes from Sonneberg in Germany, lives in New York.

“The exhibition presents photographs taken through the eyes of outsiders – either in their new towns or upon revisiting home.”

The “other places” is the sixth in a series of nine exhibitions organised in 76m2 by the*kickplate*project, with the support from the Arts Council of Wales, Torfaen council’s Arts Development and Pontypool Community Council.

“We thought it’d be interesting to see how the physical distance and years spent away from home, or a newcomer’s perspective affect how we look at and photograph these places,” added Ms Krasnowolska.

“We also hope it’ll make our viewers wonder how long we remain outsiders to or residents of a given place - which we think is a timely question considering how many people move towns and countries.”
