Mary McCartney was born in 1969. She leaves and works in London.
"The idea for the exhibition came to me when I took the time to go through all the contact sheets and photos in my archives. I found moments of great simplicity but full of emotion. They are presented here." - Mary McCartney
Since she started taking photographs, McCartney has "collected memories". These have taken on a new dimension after the changes our world has undergone in the last two years and are displayed for the first time in this exhibition. Throughout his career, McCartney has photographed these gestures and moments on his trusty Leica camera.
According to McCartney, the ability of photographers to capture affection is particularly symbolic for anyone living in a post-pandemic world. The images selected show McCartney's belief that affection in all its forms is a vital necessity for human beings.
