About
“History teaches us that we do not learn from history” - Georg Hegel
Where Do We Go From Here? is an autobiographical exploration of conflict: its consequences and patterns. This work is different from anything photographer Giles Duley done before; a very personal journey through war, resilience and love.
A mixed media approach pulls together memory, history and fate. Images as artefacts, layered with the past, connecting the dots. Within this series everything is a story, and every story is connected. Even the tools and papers used to create the works have histories. The past is interwoven with our lives, questioning how we create change.
“From images that echo postcards I collected as a child, to a young girl injured in Beirut last year who looked identical to a Cecil Beaton image I studied at school: increasingly I feel as though I have seen it all before.” - Giles Duley
