These are not the original titles or colours of these De Waal exhibits. The lighting in Waddesdon was odd as it was so hot that they had blinds down everywhere. I altered the colours and came across this effect, created by the spotlights.

Authentic title of the whole exhibition is ‘We Live Here, Forever Taking Leave.’ Based on a quotation from Rilke.

So, a new perspective!

Taken by Candia Dixon-Stuart as he left the NGV, Melbourne, Victoria.

Actually, he then took a photo of me taking one of him and he posted

it on his blog that evening (2015/2016)

I find the blacked out presence in the middle photo foreboding. He is so brave.

New book out.

In this photo I think I captured the tripod hood that the professional

photographer had been using for a photo shoot. It reminded me that

Ai Wei Wei had been seized and a black hood placed over his head.
