Event
'The House of a Thousand Faces' is a new solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Christian Best. The first instalment in his series of photographic portraits, Christian introduces us to 36 of his planned 1000 portraits; each joyful personality captured is a contact or connection from Chris' life and travels.
In The House of a Thousand Faces we are greeted by street performers in Scotland, film crew in Fiji, housemates, friends, artists and collaborators. Each image is a point of connection with Chris, who visually shares stories about community and friendship from around the globe. Together the images create a multiplicity, within which there is beauty in the non-hierarchical. Every face represents a moment of generosity, the subject shares a smile or pose, as they hand trust to the photographer to capture their essence.
As the first iteration of an ongoing project, there is a sense of infinite possibility. Each portrait is framed in a hand made frame, a new skill acquired by Chris in the making of this exhibition.
