Abstract
Coinciding with the upcoming Chris Killip retrospective published by Thames and Hudson, and the retrospective exhibition opening later this year at The Photographers Gallery in London, this panel discussion will focus on the life and works of Chris Killip.
Against a background of shipbuilding and coal mining, Chris Killip witnessed and photographed the togetherness of communities and the industries that sustained them, and stayed long enough to see their loss. His seminal works include In Flagrante, Isle of Man and Seacoal.
The panel comprised Matthew Killip and Mary Halpenny-Killip from The Chris Killip Photography Trust, Ken Grant, editor, and essay writer of the book & Niall Sweeney designer of the book. The panel was chaired by Tracy Marshall-Grant, curator of the exhibition and the discussion covered photographic processes and Killip's engagement with communities as well as a reflection on his contribution to and continuing influence over British Documentary practices.
