David Barnes

David Barnes’ ‘expanded’ documentary practice moves seamlessly between the still and moving image. For over 20 years, his work has centred on ‘small nation’ communities, family and identity in Europe (with a particular focus on South Wales). Although grounded in documentary, his work is intended to be what he characterises as a ‘conversation’ rather than a singular representation of people and place. The artist has exhibited widely in the UK and Europe, including in Germany, Poland, France and Italy. Winner of the Photographic Award in Wales Artist of the Year 2013. Senior Lecturer in Documentary Photography at the University of South Wales and PhD researcher with the European Centre for Photography.
