This event has ended.

Almond began making his Fullmoon series of photographs in 1999 with a shot of Mount Saint Victoire in Provence that had been the subject of many of Cézanne's paintings. The photographs are all taken at night under a full moon with a long exposure, and the resulting images reveal the details of the darkened landscape that the human eye cannot see. The subject of these new Fullmoon photographs is the Rwenzori mountains in Uganda. One of the most remote and distinctive environments in the world, the ecosystem and topography of the mountains remained uncharted by early explorers, as dense fog often partly obscures the range. Almond's photographs capture this landscape when the fog clears, illuminated by an otherworldly light.
