I really enjoyed going to this photo gallery because I am passionate about photography. The museum boasts a state of the art learning center and lab as well as two exhibition halls. EFTI Zero Gallery opened in 2009 as a space solely dedicated to photography. The studio and school encourages young talent who promote a creative and fresh outlook.
The gallery is very open and simple, with medium sized pictures in simple frames mounted along the walls. I think the museum declared its mission to viewers by presenting the gallery as they did, proving these innovative pictures can stand alone.
When our class went in October, there were two exhibits. One entitled “Chinese Culture Photography” by Images Copyright Society and the other entitled “Berlin-Leipzig” by Pablo Fernandez Pujol. I preferred the first exhibit, which showcased the raw culture of traditional Chinese people, with an emphasis on Geishas. The pictures were so vibrant and spirited. One of my favorites was of an old working class woman dressed in Geisha attire. Her makeup was smeared, her clothes festive and bright, and she’s just standing in the street looking at you through the lens, giving a raw sense of herself to the viewer.
I think this school is unbelievable. I really appreciate the mission of the program and encourage the discovery of young artists and work. I think photography is so inspiring and is great to show the different perspectives and values of a person. It’d be so cool to attend this school!
New Exhibits run every month, so stop by again!
