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!

inTaken 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.
