The stories behind iconic photographs

Get expert and artist insight into how some of the world’s most famous photographers create their iconic images. In this video we take a look at works by four photographers – Hiroshi Sugimoto, Andreas Gursky, Charlie Phillips and Diane Arbus – whose works have been exhibited here at the Southbank Centre and Hayward Gallery. Ralph Rugoff, Director of the Hayward Gallery gives an insight into the works of Sugimoto and Gursky. For the former he looks at the artist’s Theaters series, in which he condensed the screening of a movie into a single image. Having begun with movie theatres, Sugimoto’s series evolved to take in drive-ins, opera houses, and ultimately abandoned and decaying movie theatres, to give another sense of time evolving within the still image. With Gursky, Rugoff introduces us to ‘Utah’, one of the artist’s large-scale constructed photographs, which initially began with a mobile phone image snapped on the move from a car on a highway. ‘On the one hand an image like this is an homage to the importance of mobile phone photography today, but it also shows us what we’re missing by looking at our phone all the time’. Charlie Phillips, introduces two of his own photographs of Notting Hill Carnival in 1968, including a depiction of a busy scene in Tavistock Square, and expands on the worth and challenges of the carnival. And finally curator Jeff L. Rosenheim introduces one of street photography pioneer Diane Arbus’ most famous works, ‘Boy stepping off the curb, N.Y.C.’, which shows how Arbus distorted the conventions of documentary photography. ‘Almost all other photographers wanted to photograph this scene, without being outed as the image-maker. Arbus wanted to be seen and wanted to be implicated in her work’.
