12 December 2026–5 December 2027
From 12 December 2026, John Riddy’s Blakeney series (2021-22) will be shown in the Colman Project Space at Norwich Castle. The series was shot from a single viewpoint that looks toward Blakeney Point and the North Sea along the Norfolk Coast Path. Though seemingly remote, the subject of the Blakeney series is not only a place that Riddy has visited for over 30 years but a common walking path and an everyday experience for thousands of people. For Riddy, this particular viewpoint, and its description in a series of photographs, is informed by an accumulation of his impressions and his deep familiarity with the setting. Also evident in Blakeney is Riddy’s preoccupation with the history of art and photography.
