Note: Kathrin Kur will be in conversation with artist and writer David Campany on Tue 19 Feb (7:15pm).
German photographer Kathrin Kur documents the real-life backdrops used to make television and movie magic. A shot of the deserted Tomb Raider set juxtaposes trees and columns with hi-tech equipment. The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? studio takes on a banal and unintimidating feel when devoid of contestants. Meanwhile, the lights and cameras at ITV look eerily beautiful without a team to operate them. Kur's candid portraits dismantle the mystery behind the moving picture, and yet these haunting photographs are much more than behind-the-scenes snapshots.
