the journal Gallery is proud to present “He Who Talks Loud Saying Nothing”, the first New York solo exhibition by Linus Bill.
“He Who Talks Loud Saying Nothing” incorporates a series of Linus Bill’s latest work, black and white, cameraless photographs, made over the course of a 6 month stay in Paris. To create these images, Bill has drawn onto photographic paper with self-modified pocket-lights. The result, 28 unique pictures, displays Bill’s continued interest in the theme of portraiture. Made in the months leading up to the birth of his first child, these pictures offer a personal glimpse into the unknown. In addition, Bill will present several color prints that relate to works seen in his 2006 publication “Piss Down My Back and Tell Me It’s Raining” (Nieves).
Linus Bill was born in Biel, Switzerland in 1982. This is his first New York solo exhibition, and is made possible by the generous support of Pro Helvetica, Swiss Arts Council.
