Hilda Quick is a forward-thinking Photographic Artist and Curator currently based in Leeds. Her main interests lie within materiality, digitisation and experimental photography. Her often minimal and abstract work employs both detailed digital manipulation and experimentation with the physical, printed form. Her interest in curation has seen her working both in (and out of) the gallery space and within publications, all of which she is keen to explore further. She has exhibited in exhibitions including Beyond Photography, LS6 In Focus and Framework. She was also a student curator for The Pupil Sphere in From Top to Bottomand is currently curating ‘Point of View’, a photographic exhibition to be held at The Brunswick

Hilda on Beyond Photography: In Camera Lucida, Roland Barthes writes ‘a photograph is always invisible: it is not it that we see.’ He is suggesting that the photograph’s materiality is disregarded by the viewer and is instead used as a gateway to view what it depicts, as well as the memories and imaginations that are triggered by this. However, since the digital age, materiality has been returned to the photograph in an effort to raise it’s perceived value in comparison with the sea of vernacular images. Whether physically or digitally, the boundaries of Photography are now being pushed more than ever before. The contemporary art photograph is visible: it is it that we see.
