Root Down
Frankie Adams, Thaïs Verhasselt, and Victor Anton
'Root down' is a group exhibition by photographers Frankie Adams, Thaïs Verhasselt, and Victor Anton, part of the Photo Fringe festival 2024 at LANO Yoga. This show explores grounding through photography, delving into identity, connection and growth.
Victor Anton, a Spanish photographer and yoga student, uses root vegetables as metaphors for his journey of establishing new roots in the UK, reflecting personal growth and the search for grounding.
German-born Frankie Adams captures the fluidity of time and memory with abstract photography. Influenced by Italo Calvino, Craigie Horsefield and Uta Barth, her blurred water scenes and ‘skinscapes’ from wild swimming symbolise reflecting the essence of time and the search for balance.
Thaïs Verhasselt combines archival images of her mother with self-portraits mimicking yoga postures. Her work uses the metaphor of the 'motherland' to explore time, place, and identity, reflecting her background in education and commitment to social engagement.
