Join us for David Clerihew’s exhibition titled America

Join us on Wednesday, 20th November, at the Photobook Cafe for an evening with David Clerihew and his exhibition titled America.

David Clerihew’s America is the result of 12 years exploring the country, capturing its cultural diversity and contradictions, particularly its complex relationship with guns. Through over one hundred portraits, he creates a visual census of American life, while his landscapes depict everyday spaces reflective of the American dream. Gun culture became a central theme, as Clerihew’s visits often coincided with mass shootings, prompting his work to question what freedom truly means in a nation where firearms are symbols of both liberty and violence.

This exhibition presents a series of unique prints, each one shot through with a firearm, adding a visceral layer to the work and inviting viewers to confront its themes on a tangible level. A limited number of zines featuring additional prints and a personal essay from the series will also be available.
