ANDY SEWELL

Andy Sewell’s work explores the permeability of the boundaries that hold things apart and the fragility of the bonds locking them together. Known and Strange Things Pass, published by Skinnerboox, looks at the cables carrying the Internet across the Atlantic and costal locations they link. Exploring, in these places where the digital network is concentrated, a literal and metaphorical entangling of worlds we think of as separate—the ocean and the Internet, the close and the distant, the physical and the virtual, what we think of as natural with the cultural and technological.

His work is found in collections including the V&A Museum, Columbia University Art Collection, The Museum of London, The MAST Collection, The National Media Museum, Eric Franck Collection, Martin Parr Collection, The Hyman Collection, The Tate Library.

His first book The Heath was a winner of the International Photobook Award and is included in Martin Parr’s The Photobook: A History Vol. III. He has had solo shows in UK, France, USA, and China. A solo show of Known and Strange Things Pass will open at Robert Morat Gallery, Berlin, on 27th May and run till 31st August 2021. An installation of 18 prints acquired by the V&A Museum, London, will be on display from 5th November 2021.
