The impact of these images is both immediate and enduring, creating one of the most authoritative and intense bodies of work produced this decade. The fifty photographs of In Flagrante serve as the foundation of this exhibition, which includes maquettes, contact sheets, and work prints to reveal the artist’s process. The photographs in the book provide a raw and poignant depiction of the social and economic changes that took place in this region, particularly in areas heavily reliant on industries like coal mining and steel production.

The removal of both Killip’s introductory text, and the accompanying essay by John Berger and Sylvia Grant, embraces the ambiguities and contradictions within the imagery, presenting an unadorned narrative allowing the photographs to speak for themselves. I went back three years ago to where the beach was and it’s so shocking because it’s not there,” says Killip. As a freelancer, she has written for The Guardian, FT Weekend Magazine, Creative Review, Aperture, FOAM, Aesthetica and Apollo. In Flagrante could have been made differently, the show suggests, and Killip’s achievement was much more than the book alone.

His shots of ship building look like they’re from another century but they also show the sheer skill of the people involved, he says, in an industry that’s now completely vanished from the region. Lots of people I know on estates, in hospitals, in unemployment queues, now walk on their individual knows and their individual heads are bowed and they haven’t the energy to strengthen their individual spines.

Einführung durch Chris Killip, Essay von John Berger and Sylvia Grant; editiert von Mark Holborn; Design von Peter Dyer. We’re discussing his work in England’s North East from 1973-1985, images from which made up his seminal photobook In Flagrante.

The objective history of England doesn’t amount to much if you don’t believe in it, and I don’t, and I don’t believe that anyone in these photographs does either as they face the reality of de-industrialisation in a system which regards their lives as disposable.

Join photographer Chris Killip, whose work is featured in the exhibition, as he discusses the creation of his groundbreaking photobook In Flagrante (1988) and the decision to republish it decades later. for it is as if all the photos here have been branded, like a hundred cattle, with the tenderness of those eight lines. Drop by as photographer Luther Gerlach explores the art and science of early photography while demonstrating a variety of photographic processes and materials including large-format cameras, lenses, and interactive camera obscuras. The show also features material from two related projects— Seacoal and Skinningrove—that Killip developed in the 1980s, included selectively in In Flagrante, and revisited decades later.In Flagrante is a book of 50 photographs taken in the 70s and 80s documenting the lives of those who had depended on disbanded coal industries in northern England. By the time this particular man reaches the top of the stairs, his individual legs will feel too tired for this particular concept to bloom. Released in 1988 and showing communities reeling from the effects of de-industrialisation, it was immediately hailed as a classic – and read as a statement against Margaret Thatcher, the Prime Minister most identified with the process of de-industrialisation. The book is a collection of black and white photographs that document the decline of industry and the economic hardships faced by working-class communities in the north of England during the 1970s and 1980s.
