No Particular Moment

The title of this exhibition comes from the last line of the poem Night Photograph by Lavinia Greenlaw (1993) about a journey the poet made by ferry at night thinking there would be nothing to look at. Instead she finds herself experiencing a shifting, monochrome world of many textures ‘eel-skin, marble, smoke, oil’ and at the end of this revelatory journey ‘Day breaks at no particular moment.’ Many of these photographs, selected from over a thousand in the University collection, have been chosen because they appear to question the idea that photographs represent just a particular moment in time.
