Henry Bond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Bond (born 1966 in Newham, London) is an English artist specialising in photography.[1]
He studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, University of London from 1985 to 1988 and attended Middlesex University where he studied for an MA in Psychoanalysis. He gained a Doctorate from University of Gloucestershire in 2007, following his research into crime scene photography.
Since the mid-1990s, Bond has been internationally recognized for his photographic work which tends to be derived from close observation of the architecture and psychology of urban environments. His works explore contemporary means of visual communication; the notion of privacy; and in particular the theme of voyeurism.
In the early 1990s Bond collaborated with fellow Goldsmiths artist Liam Gillick on their Documents Series, a four year long image/text project that was subsequently exhibited at Tate Modern, London (Century City, 2000) [2] and Hayward Gallery, London (How to Improve The World, 2007).
He has exhibited widely in both commercial and museum galleries, for example at at Fotomuseum, Winterthur and Le Consortium, Dijon, among others. Among the publications of his photographic projects are Cult of the Street (Emily Tsingou Gallery, 1998), Point and Shoot (Hatje Cantz, 1999) and What gets you through the day (La vie Publishing, 2002).
