Hélène Amouzou @ Autograph Gallery

Voyages is an exhibition of Hélène Amouzou’s evocative self-portraits. These hand printed photographs are a crucial document of a migrant who has grappled with notions of freedom, exclusion, and bureaucracy – an attempt to recapture her identity and sense of belonging.

Voyages raises important questions: What does it mean to seek refuge? What does belonging feel like?  What does it mean to live in limbo? What burden does the body carry as a result? The artist’s distinctive imagery is created through long exposures, contemplating the complex emotions of displacement and exile.
