Andrew Moore: Making History.

From Cuba to Russia to Detroit, American photographer Andrew Moore seeks out disused, wrecked buildings and captures the moment that nature stakes her claim on their ravaged greatness. Fifteen of Moore's works are on display at Galerie Alex Daniels, Reflex Amsterdam, from April 10th to June 7th 2010.

Over the past 30 years, Moore has travelled for months at a time to track down these secret places that are often the sad consequences of modernisation or political turmoil. Moore embraces complexity in his work; the images have multiple narrative threads, whether they are cultural, historical or pictorial. He leaves it up to the viewer to pick up on a few of these clues.

Part of this complexity is also due to the rich combination of artistic influences that inform his photographic style. There is a strong painterly quality to Moore's photographs, both in scale, texture and use of colour. The vitality of his palette, and his carefully chosen tonal combinations provide the building blocks of his work.

Moreover, his new book will be presented at the exhibition, also called Making History by Andrew Moore.
