Geoff Dyer in Conversation with Peter Mitchell, Leeds Art Gallery, UK

In this very special conversation event, acclaimed author Geoff Dyer will be speaking with photographer Peter Mitchell, whose life’s work is the subject of a major retrospective exhibition at Leeds Art Gallery. Geoff has previously written about Peter’s work for The New York Times Magazine and in his book ‘See/Saw: Looking at Photographs’ (2021) reflecting – “The first picture by Mitchell I ever saw had the same quality of oneiric lucidity associated with Ghirri: a red telephone box amid the desolate and lyrical emptiness of a housing estate in Leeds, something dropped out of time in the middle of nowhere, which — a fundamental lesson of photography — is always somewhere.”

The galleries will be open late this evening for attendees to see the exhibition. The exhibition can be accessed until 6pm and then after the talk finishes until 8pm.
