From The Damaged Narcissist to The Anatomical Man to The Unknowing — a talk by Professor Richard Sawdon Smith

Professor Richard Sawdon Smith

Immaculate in his three-piece Vivienne Westwood suit, Richard gave a brilliant account of his trajectory through the various issues that surround body image, gender and identity in a post-AIDS world, with a chance to see how his various projects have gradually evolved from one another over the course of two decades.

Provocative and controversial artist, Richard Sawdon Smith showed examples from three bodies of work, the first two dealing with issues of health, identity and sexuality. The third, his current as yet unseen project The Unknowing, a playful but dark series of portraits straight from the adult dressing up box! Richard is an internationally exhibiting and award-winning British photographer. He is Professor of Photography and Dean of Arts & Media at Norwich University of the Arts. He is Co-editor of Langford’s Basic Photography and The Book is Alive!. His photographs and writing are widely published.
