Posing in the middle ground, they give the photographer and filmmaker Misan Harriman’s smooth black-and-white composition a fluid, almost musical energy. The project brings together pictures that Harriman—who made his name photographing covers for Vogue UK—took at protests over the last seven years. Through them, “you can go on a journey seeing what I have been able to bear witness to,” Harriman tells The Art Newspaper. Quoting Nina Simone, Harriman says he feels he has a duty as an artist “to reflect the times”, while “everything else is just entertainment”. Harriman’s work he says, is “an embodiment of the gallery”, focusing on the commonality, rather than the particularity, of injustice.
