The Open Bridges: Engines and Insects exhibition is now open at Hull Intentional Photographyย Festivalย โ HIP Fest โ in Princesย Quay Shopping Centre, Hull. Itโs on the main entrance corridor until October 28th, free entry to the Open Bridges element of the festival.
The Engines and Insects exhibition is part of Open Bridges, a growing series of photographs of the landscape and buildings on the journey down the River Hull as never seen before.

Rich took the photographs on the Open Bridges barge journey down the River and then transformed them into patterns in the style of photographer Horst P Horstโs โPatterns from Natureโ (1946), originally inspired by Karl Blossfeldt at the turn of the 20th century. He carefully made each image by taking a section of the original source photograph and manipulating it digitally using basic darkroom techniques of splitting, mirroring and tessellating the image to create the exhibition pieces.
