Coming up for Air: Stephen Gill – A Retrospective
Arnolifini, Bristol
BRISTOLIAN Stephen Gill’s photography confounds all expectations. Like with Marmite you’ll either be intrigued or not bothered at all.

Gill is philosophical, he believes his early work are studies of people and the things we do and what we encounter: “It was a genuine interest and something I think photography is really good at; making such descriptive studies.”
