Sam Holden
70 Still Frames and 5 Minutes 50 Seconds of Video

Using a range of approaches and a variety of media, Sam Holden examines the representation of the self; exploring issues such as identity, hyperconsciousness, multiplicity, self-image and the image repertoire.

In his latest video piece 70 Still Frames and 5 Minutes 50 Seconds of Video he examines how much we simply don't see when encountering someone's photographic reproduction and underlines how problematic photography can be as a representative medium.

Holden's work has been exhibited throughout the UK and internationally, including shows in London (most recently at The Photographer's Gallery), Cyprus, Spain, Bulgaria, Russia, Greece, Germany and the USA.

Sam Holden is based in London, UK.
