Recovering the Past is an innovative photographic exhibition by London based photographer Ian Alderman. Inspired by the iconic World War One photography of Frank Hurley and Australian war artist Will Longstaff. As well as the one hundred year operation to clear artillery from the Belgian fields.

A unique photographic exhibition of 25 thought provoking images and accompanying text; not a project of war itself, but a philosophical exploration of consequences of war, of legacies that persist long after the guns fall silent.

The exhibition brings together two separate groups of men with origins a century apart but who are united through a tragic conflict. One being the famed ‘Diggers’ of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) who fought in Flanders in some of the worst battles of the Great War; the other, the personnel of the ongoing bomb disposal efforts on the same former battlefields today.

FREE entry...All welcome.
