Ghosts

Photographs by Henry Rich
Curated by Zoe Bedeaux

What happens when two worlds collide by accident?Moon and Antonia went to south America. Moon had a roll of film that seemed to be unused, Henry confirmed it was. Weeks later Moon asked Henry, “What happened to the film?” He said, “It was left in her bedroom.” The roll had disappeared….

Henry was commissioned to shoot an artist by his manager. The day became hectic due to an instagram post that alerted a local gang that there was another crew on their patch.They came with knives and chaos ensued.

Henry made his way back to Southhampton and put the film in to be processed. When he went to pick it up a few days later he was told his film was completely ruined. Henry was confused. When he saw the film he realised Moon’s roll had got mixed up with his film and wasn’t blank after all. The film was unusable for the artist. I feel that was a mistake on his part, as the photographic placements are totally genius. You couldn’t manufacture the alignments if you tried.
