Photography
Craigie Horsfield is a British artist born in 1949 whose practice spans photography, film, and large-scale installations that investigate the relationship between image, time, and collective memory. Working since the 1970s, he has developed an approach that foregrounds the documentary photograph as a site of encounter and ethical responsibility rather than evidence or reportage. His works often combine photographs with text, sound, and architectural intervention to create immersive environments that demand sustained attention.
